This entry here at zanshin.net world domination headquarters is the thousandth since we starting counting back in December 1999.

When you consider that these thousand entries span a sixth of my life, encompassing four deaths, two births, three job losses, and their subsequent cross-country moves, then it is a large number indeed.
Here’s the first thousand, and to many, many more.
