MO's 5th Birthday

Hmmm. I almost missed the fact that today is Murdoc Online's fifth birthday.

My first post was written after watching a speech by President Bush and many months passed before I started getting some readers. Now here Murdoc is, nearly ready to launch his world-conquering campaign, having recently passed his two millionth visit.

Don't get confused by the fact that I posted some emails I had sent out in the weeks before starting this site. It was the endless chain of emails that convinced me to give blogging a try, and I tossed them up onto the site a week or two after I launched. March 16th is the golden day.

I had intended to write up a big post about what I thought about the past five years and how I thought running this site had changed me, but now it's starting to get late and I've got some reading to do.

So happy birthday to MO and maybe I'll follow up a bit in the next day or two.

Enjoy Great Mistakes and Dam Neck...

Ask the instructors at Dam Neck when you are almost done about officer programs. They train the 1630s there as well as IS'...
