A Big Round Number

Can you believe that this is the one thousandth post on the Brisbane Ultimate Blog?

I (slipping out of the proprietal "we" for this post) can barely believe it either, but there it is. One … thousand … posts.

One, followed by three zeroes.

1,000.

1,000!

Whew!

There were thoughts about doing something really big to celebrate this big round number. But things remain busy here at the stately mansion. So we'll do something quick.

I have to put out three big acknowledgements.

Most importantly to the multi-talented and always-smartly-dressed Wetnose, who came aboard to do the heavy lifting of the twice (or more) weekly Brisbane Premier League posts plus tracking the tipping comp. Nearly two years later (!) and he's still labouring down in the sweatshopsaltmines over the numbers and the little team icons and stuff, and, as on the field, dropping in the occasional moment of brilliance and of course, managing to find the time to manage and play lots of Ultimate and of course get married. THANKS LIAM YOU'RE GREAT! Now get back to work.

Almost as important is of course the original originator of this thingee, the outrageously useful and charming-with-the-ladies Rubes, who created this blog back in January 2006 and eventually gave us his baby to a crazed blogging madman, yours truly, on or around May 2007 and at the height of the loldisc internet meme (make sure you continue through all 33) which we keep meaning to get back into but just don't seem to have the time for.

Finally, we have to thank you, the readers, especially those who leave us comments or email us ideas. The last three months have actually been a bit of a Renaissance for the Brisbane Ultimate Blog, as the stats show us consistently taking over 100 hits a day through March, April and May 2010, up from around 60-70 or so through most of last year.

My goal over the past three years or so has been to see if we can post something interesting most days, and provide a Brisbane Ultimate vibe. There's still heaps to do ... but it's back to work for now.

Why not take some time and dig through the archives? There's a thousand posts of joy, right there! And don't forget to tell us what you'd like more of over the next thousand.
