One Giant Leap for Robotkind

Tuesday, July 20, 2004

History may only remember July 20 as the anniversary of Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon.  But an event far more significant to the advancement of technology and the wonder of the human spirit is to be celebrated today…

Today marks the first anniversary of the day this robot started blogging.  RobotJohnny.com has existed in some form or another since about 1997, but it was one year ago today I jumped on the blogging bandwagon.

So here’s to you, loyal reader!  And three cheers for the sites that helped me at the start by inspiring me and providing links to help boost my traffic: Keri Smith, Loobylu, Scrubbles, Danny Gregory, James McNally, Amanda at Foreword, Brett Lamb, and the Armchair Garbageman.  If I’ve forgotten someone, it’s probably for good reason, you jerks!

Who knew I could yammer on for a full 365 days!  I’ve got big plans for 2005, so stay tuned (nahh, just more of the same really...)

Oh, and since I’m a shameless whore, it’s never too late for gifts.

Happy blogday to meeee!

Merry Blogmas!  As a blogday present, I give you a solid gold chain.

OK, it’s just a link in the chain.  And it’s not solid gold, it’s virtually gold.  OK, it’s just a hyperlink.  But, it’s to a comic that reminded me of you.

OH MAN I did some ASCII hearts for you but they didn’t show up when I posted them.

Look into that I think there’s a GHOST IN THE MACHINE --- that is a quote from Will Smith, re: Robots and how they can kill you.
