The Blog is Two Today!
Posted Friday, August 11th, 2006 by nycgadgetgirlThis blog is two years old today. I posted two entries on August 11, 2004. One was a picture of Snickers (of course). It was titled What A Handsome Puppy and I was so happy to get a comment on my first post! The second was A Few Other Photos From Saturday and two people commented on it also. (I started off thinking this would be a photoblog, but ended up with just the “blog” without the “photo.”)
First, I have to say, I hate the name nycgadgetgirl’s mental ramblings, but I think I’m stuck with it now. I really didn’t expect to be doing this for so long and I didn’t put any thought into the name when I started (obviously). Second, I want to say that I have met (virtually and in person) some very cool people through blogging. So, thanks to everyone that visits, comments, emails, and even lurks. This is fun! 
Now, I have a favor to ask - for my blog, of course, not for myself - can we have a birthday party in the comments? Come on… everyone say something witty or silly and make my blog’s day special!

Pass the champagne and let’s get this party started!
Happy blog birfday- I’ve always loved that picture of Snick!
Oh, before we get too wasted, I have to say that if you hate the name- then it’s yours to change. Creative freedom, baby!

ooh… birthday cake and champagne? This is fun! How about we all get wasted and then collectively come up with a new name for the blog?

Well, then you’d end up with something like “nycgadgetgirl’s wasted brain” or “blogging under the influence” and do you really want to wake up in the morning, roll over, look your blog in the face and go “Oh my god! What have I done???”
Hippo birdies to the blog… and almost to you!

Hey, I’m a reader of your blog, but I don’t comment. It’s fun to read your blog!
But since it’s your blog’s 2nd birthday, I’m commenting now - Happy 2nd Blog Birthday!
Cheers,
Addy

I was going to write something witty, but the dog ate my homework! And I’m a few days late, too! Happy Birthday, blog and owner… it’s been a pleasure getting to know you both
