Today marks two years of moblogging, and my 851st post. While I bought the first Sidekick on October 1st, 2002, the first day it was available in stores, I didn't post to hiptop Nation until a couple weeks later. And over two years, there were times when I didn't post for weeks, but other times, such as my blog-a-thon, where I posted multiple times a day. I spent some time last night clicking though my archives and reflecting on how while some of the things I posted seemed mundane and pointless at the time, are interesting to me now. I believe one of the virtues of moblogging iconic moments from everyday life is the archived posts' ability to serve as catalysts for remembering. Each submission was also a pause to celebrate life. Linked above are some selected images and links to posts from the first year. Post titles appear when you roll over the images. I'll post stuff fom the second year after this entry rolls over onto another page.
