Davis Turns 2.0

When Opportunity Knocks

It’s hard to believe, but today was a bittersweet anniversary for me. Secretly, I never thought I would make it, but it was a year ago that I made my first post on DavisFreeberg.com. Before starting the site, I had been covering digital technology periodically, on Thomas Hawk’s excellent blog, but after getting a taste for blogging, I took Tom’s advice and used this opportunity to help find my voice.

During the last year, there have been times where I have been right and there have been times where I’ve been wrong, but through it all, I’ve tried to do my best to call things how I see them (regardless of the details available.) Looking back, I have few regrets, but do wish I would have posted more.

The technological revolution that we are experiencing will be an important part of history. I have so many thoughts about the renaissance that we are in, but struggle getting them all down in writing. There are so many companies and stories and mind blowing things that deserve more attention, but sometimes I get lost in the details. Over the next year, I’m hoping to write more and explore new topics, that my readers are interested in.

I’ve enjoyed sharing my thoughts over this past year, but it’s been my readers that have made this such a special experience. Whether you’ve commented or linked to me or just stopped by and liked what you’ve read, thank you for participating. Your feedback is what has shaped the site and it plays an important role in the future of this community. Thank you to everyone who has put up with my ramblings over the last year. I hope that the next 12 months will be just as exciting, as the first.

    Keep up the good work, man! Not only do I enjoy reading your thoughts, but I love being able to share your stories. :) And as soon as I get home from FL, I promise to ship your secret surprise gift. (Good thing it’s not a Wii.)

    Glad you stuck around!

    P.S. I always love seeing if I can influence bloggers. Yeah – I know you love robots more now.

    Not just robots, did you see the bunny link on this week’s site of the week contest? Robots, Rabbits and Sarcasm right? I think I hit all three this year and that is only after a year. Imagine if you applied your jedi tricks to a ton of different bloggers. Pretty soon you would be just as famous as Bob Barker, only for reminding everybody to neuter their rabbits instead.

    Of course I did!

    And I love how how text emoticons turn into graphic ones on your site.

    “only for reminding everybody to neuter their rabbits instead.”

    Okay.. I’m not a kook I’m not a neutering crusader. Besides… the babies are the tastiest.
