Year One of Optimize and Prophesize

Coda“It’s all one song!”
– Neil Young

This month marks my first year of blogging. It has been an incredibly rewarding experience that I look forward to continuing with forever. Special thanks to Jamie Roche who encouraged me (actually I believe he forced me) to start blogging. Matt Roche for the friendly page views competition that always gets me out of writers block and to Avinash and Rand whose blogs I took (and continue to take) inspiration from.

As a brief recap, here are some of the 84 posts to date that either have proved to be very popular or didn’t get the response I anticipated:

Reference Landings
Transactional Landings

Thanks also to everyone that has commented and contacted me both here and via email and those of you that have thought enough of these musings to make them a part of your weekly information consumption.

Rave On,

Jonathan

    Congratulations Jonathan!!
    I owe Jamie a box of chocolates, or something similar, for having “forced” you to blog. The blogosphere is richer from having your voice.
    Here’s to another 84 posts! 🙂
