My blog turned four on Thursday. Happy Belated 4th Birthday to the Tao of Pauly!And I totally forgot. Thanks to Jenna who pointed it out to me.
Encouraged by my old college roommate and author of The Daily Dave 2.0 (at the time it was just The Daily Dave), I began my the Tao of Pauly in May of 2002 to use as a notebook and scratch pad during my time at work on Wall Street.
Since then, I started numerous other blogs. I always wanted to start my own literary magazine and did so. Truckin' will turn four years old next month and in August my poker blog will be three years old. I also wanted to start a music blog, and at the end of this summer, my group Phish blog will be two years old. In about seven or eight months, I'll start up my political blog again to gear up for the 2008 elections. I've also started up a couple of photo blogs.
The past year has been a special one for the Tao of Pauly. Although its sister site the Tao of Poker has been mentioned in numerous publications and drew one million visitors in a week last summer, the Tao of Pauly will always be my favorite blog. Over the past few months I made a bigger effort to publish better writing on the Tao of Pauly. The results have been positive. It's becoming more and more popular everyday.
The Tao of Poker is by far my biggest referral, followed by AlCantHang. Thanks, Al! It feels good to know that the daily readers of my poker blog are clicking over here to the Tao of Pauly. If you don't have the Tao of Pauly linked up on your blogroll, then what are you waiting for? Feel free to subscribe to the Tao of Pauly feed via Bloglines.
As Joaquin the Rooster once said, "I read the Tao of Pauly first. Somedays I'm sick of poker and sick of poker blogs. Thank God for the Tao of Pauly. Besides, I think that's where your best writing is."
Thanks always to Dave for inspiring me to blog.
