Surely I’m late to the game with this (as usual these days), but this is possibly the greatest music video ever conceived. Speaking as a former marching band geek of course. (Hat tip Hannah Donovan)
Back from vacation. But not really back yet.

Ten Years
I’m about to head out on a little vacation, but I realized this Wednesday marks ten years of archives here at SimpleBits. Actually, there were a few other domains that came before simplebits.com (robotcom.com and cederholm.org). I’d actually been publishing short, frequent updates for a few years prior to 2000, either by updating a .html file by hand or using a hobbled together home-grown CMS built with PHP and Perl. Those old posts are long gone, but there’s about to be 10 years of archives still preserved here and that’s rather dumbfounding when I stop and think about it.
It’s likely dumbfounding because the last 10 years also happen to have been the most eventful I’ve ever had. They’ve been both terrifying and wonderful; educational and exciting; important and enlightening. I’m doubtful a majority of that shows up in the archives here. I was busy learning about the web, and that was mostly what was talked about in hypertext. Over the last decade, getting married, having kids, buying a house and other big life events mingled with starting a business or three, writing some books and traveling to parts of the world I never imagined visiting to talk about web design. I have an enormous amount to be thankful for.
Looking ahead, I wonder if I’ll look back at the next 10 years as being this dynamic. I hope so, but it’ll undoubtedly be different. Either way, I thank you very much for reading this tiny little corner of the web, and encouraging the (now) infrequent ramblings and bits.
