Dear Readers,

Happy 2005. I hope the new year brings you all a lot of joy and happiness. I enjoyed writing for you in 2004, and perhaps I will try and do better in the new year. I appreciate your support and wanted to take a minute to thank you all for making this a year of hyper growth for my weblog. I am ending the year with about 1.25 million page views a month (December) and a substantial increase in the RSS subscriptions. It has been a fun 2004, and 2005 promises to be even more interesting. As you might have noticed, there is a change in design. I thought, well a new year deserves a new look. It is cleaner and sure a tad geeky but simple. The basic design was put together by Brian (werd!) and Matt helped me hack together the templates etc. Thanks Matt! Open Source Rules!

best
