JakeBouma.com’s first birthday

March 18, 2006

One year ago today, under the encouragement of Andrew, I purchased JakeBouma.com for about $9. I recently extended my ownership of the domain until March 18, 2007. So what does this mean for you?

Well, according to the acronymistically-gifted DHHSCDC (Department of Health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), between the ages of one and two JakeBouma.com "will show greater independence, begin to show defiant behavior, recognize himself in pictures or a mirror, and imitate the behavior of others, especially adults and older children."

The site has been through several design changes in its first year of life, and will hopefully continue to improve in the next year. If you don't remember, at one point I accidentally deleted the whole thing... but that won't happen again.

If you'd like to support the site and/or celebrate its first birthday, perhaps a selection from my wishlist would do (Edit: the wishlist link has been fixed). Thanks to everyone who visits regularly and even those who don't. You all make having this website worthwhile; music is only beautiful if it is heard.

But seriously, be on the lookout for "defiant behavior".

you just gave me dork bumps.

sidenote: i am elated to see that you have the high school musical soundtrack on your wishlist. is that a joke? because i may or may not have it and i may or may not be able to burn a copy for you and mail it in your direction.

but, if it’s a joke and you’re making fun of the movie, forget i said any of that :) haha

Okay, my bad. The old “wishlist” link went to the generic Amazon wishlist, which has the top wished for items across the board. It now links to my specific wishlist. Whoops.
