By the Numbers: NaBloPoMo Edition
29 - Consecutive number of days I've managed to put something on this blog, a new record.
5 - The old record for consecutive days with a new post, before this month.
12 - Estimated maximum number of days in any given month that I really have something to say that's worth blogging about.
19 - Number of days into the month before I felt compelled to create a new post category, called "Phoning it In." Though really, I phoned it in a few times before day 19.
328 - Number of comments received here during NaBloPoMo.
20 - Number of people who got to my site by searching for "space pen" during NaBloPoMo.
2 - Number of times I shut down my computer and headed for bed before I realized I hadn't yet posted for the day.
2 - Number of times NaBloPoMo made me mad.
0 - Number of times I expect to participate in NaBloPoMo next year. More on that tomorrow.

well, you did a helluva lot better than me. even if i wasn't moving, i wouldn't have made the commitment. but that may be another issue entirely.

They should reschedule Nablomo for a different month. I don't have nothing going on in April. That's when it should be. I mean how can people be expected to fulfill their blog duties while totally lethargic from turkey overdose?

You know what they say: "Don't get mad, get even".
Or is it "Don't get mad, get Glad"?

yeah, i didn't want to tell you this until i heard for sure if you'd decided whether to participate next year, but doing it for the second time is MUCH HARDER. jon even agreed.

Cadiz is right. If I try to participate next year, you can bet that I have some sort of death wish. Right now, my addendum to this would be:
30 - Consecutive days I've wished I'd never heard of NaBloPoMo.

first, let me congratulate you on completing nablopomo. hooray for you even if you don't plan on doing it next year. second, let me second elastic's idea to reschedule it for april or some other boring month. why do people choose holiday time to do contests and such? our good friend is doing a manual rowing holiday challenge between thanksgiving and christmas. i think he's insane. why add one more thing?

Raging cool new masthead! I officially hate you. But in that way that means we're still friends but I'm just really envious of your mad blogging and design skills.
