In Google Maps I had mentioned that I spent a few minutes hacking on the WordPress Geo Plugin to add support for Google Maps, and, I know, I really should have cleaned up the code and sent it to the author, but he came looking for me, so I ended up sending him my additions for Google Maps which he added in.

I’m so proud.

I mean, I’m not “so proud” of the code, as it was a trivial addition. I’m proud to be contributing to an open-source project that I really like. (WordPress and associated pieces.) I’ve been slacking off on some of the projects I used to contribute quite heavily to, so it’s nice to be able to get something out there people might find useful.

It’s the little things, right? ;)

Dave seems to suggest there were maybe 4 or 5 blogs in 1997. Well then, bow down folks, because that list must then include: Scripting News, CamWorld, and this here RasterWeb!, and one or two others…

You had no idea I was such a pioneer, did you?

And heck, I won’t even mention how early I was in the podcasting game… (But I will say it was early, so early the word “podcasting” hadn’t even been applied to it yet.)

Now excuse me while I discover the Next Big Thing…

Update: Know of any weblogs that existed in 1997? List them here.
