I swore I’d never have a blog, and this isn’t it. It’s been running for exactly a year now, which is quite an achievement for something that doesn’t actually exist.

I should probably write some sort of retrospective thing about all the great things that have happened to me as a result of having this thing which isn’t a blog, and all the interesting people I’ve met, and phrase it all in a really clever, semi-poetic way that’ll make it seem somehow more significant than it actually is. Frankly, though, this site subscribes to enough blogging cliches already without needing to make things worse.

So, thank you to everyone who’s ever read the rubbish I churn out, especially those of you who came back again (presumably out of a morbid curiosity, to find out if I’d actually started writing anything interesting). An even bigger thanks to all those other bloggers out there whose ideas and material I’ve shamelessly stolen over the last year (although I still claim I was the first one to come up with the chav-car-flag idea). And an even bigger thanks to my girlfriend, who has to suffer me in real life as well.

Oh, and finally – apologies to Tim Berners-Lee, because I’m sure this wasn’t quite the sort of thing he had in mind when he invented the web.
