The BradLands at 10

Ten years. Ten years! There are very few things in my life that have lasted 10 years. A few friendships, certainly, and surprisingly after an early life spent apartment- and house-hopping, my current residence. No romantic relationship got anywhere near that long, no professional gig, either (although the current one is creeping up on a decade).

But this website turns 10 today, published continually and more or less regularly since June 1, 1998.

The BradLands had been around, in various forms and at various addresses, for a few years before that, but the registration of this domain marks the official birthday. I couldn't have imagined then how many wonderful opportunities, how many delightful diversions and how many cherished friendships would grow from my decision to publish a personal website would grow when I posted those first few words. I am constantly amazed and humbled by the good it has brought into my life.

I selfishly do this just for me—The BradLands have been my playground to read, learn, link and grow—but I do rather hope you've had a bit of enjoyment as well. If you stop by regularly or just stumbled in occasionally, thank you for spending a little of your time reading over my shoulder.

The second decade begins today.
