11. 2.09 So Long

When I first started blogging back in 2002 blogging was on the new side. I had a Blogger account back then and I remember that titles were a special feature. That's right, in order to put a title on an entry (like that 'So Long' up there) you had to upgrade to a premium account. And me, being the nerd I was am, I paid that $14.95 for the year in order to put titles on my posts.

A little bit after that Blogger realized that titles were a god given right and gave everyone free titles. And to make up for me spending $14.95 they sent me a Blogger hoodie, which I may or may not still own.

Hoodies aside, I've made friends through blogging, I've made enemies through blogging, I've raised money through blogging and I met my wife through blogging,

Over the almost eight years since I stared blogging I've written 1,507 posts, moved 5 times, started my own business and gotten married.

And now I think I might be done. Granted, I may occasionally need a place to share my movie ideas (and photoshopped posters) or to post a funny list I came up with, but for the most part I think I'm through.

I'll still be on Twitter, but while I think of Twitter as tiny blogging I know that's not the same.

You may not have known me and I may not have known you, but I appreciate it. So in case I don't come back, thanks for reading.

Well crap. Now what am I supposed to do at work? I've really enjoyed your blog, the free pants I scored and following some of your fellow bloggers. So thanks for the memories. Guess I'll have to revisit popcap.com. :)

+Shannon says...

Sad to see you go, best of luck!


+Ris says...

Sad day! I'm assuming the Metallurgist is still going to blog? I feel like I need an online dose of you guys in some format.


+Ivory says...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!


+Kate says...

What! Josh, that hoodie is the reason for our friendship. Don't go. Don't go!

At least I still have the Metallurgist...


+Miss Dallas says...

Oh Berg! We'll miss your wry wit!


+Rachel says...

This is the opposite of what I expected for the second day of NABLOPOMO.

But, I understand. It was fun. I'll miss your videos.


+Ivan says...

You were one of the great ones, Josh, in the blogosphere and off.

I expect casting for Double Down will begin any day now.


+Librarian Girl says...

All of my blog friends are leaving meeeeeee! (See how I can turn any situation into it being about me? It's an art.)

I'm glad we made the leap from blog friends to real-life friends before now- that makes me less sad about your blog departure. Still sad, but less sad.

Keep in touch, friend.


+Dan Suvanto says...

I don't know what to say... First you leave Kit Kat, then you leave the north side, and now no blog??? I sure will miss you buddy. Don't be a stranger and pop in now and then. Thanks for all the great posts!


+Bradley says...

To paraphrase that great Hebrew philosopher, Tevye, sunrise...sunset...swiftly fly the years...

I hope we'll run into you again soon.


+Anonymous says...

This sucks!!! I don't want to be supportive, what about us?(Stomps foot) Just like a good drug dealer you give us the good and then leave us wanting more. I wish you all the best, but I am still going to pout for a while.


+Tree says...

Oh sadness of sad!! I should have just kept my big mouth shut!!! Having been an on again off again blogger for several years, I certainly do understand...but Oh sadness of sad!! Thanks for all the great videos, introducing me to Nablopomo, and for the m&m's I won that forever endeared you to my heart!!

I'll keep checking in in case you change your mind.

*sigh*

Although the move to Chicago has been derailed by driving miss Dallas getting a job. I hope to continue to keep in touch. We will try to get to Chicago next summer for a cubs game and have some beers. But just like your blog you may be ahead if the curve as you might gave seen j haven't blogged since September. Hope all is well in the windy city and will talk to you soon.


+The Other Chuck says...

Heavy Sigh. You've entertained me through the years with your witticisms. You've introduced me to people like Natalie, Cammy, Bern, Brad, etc. You've even blogged about my hatred for Chicago. Berg with Fries became an institution on the world wide webs and internets for so many of us. You built community and grew friendships. You touched lives.

Write when you can, or when the need arises. I'll check back often and catch up. Thank you for sharing your life and times with us.

Can't we compromise--say, once a week? :) This is not good.
