When I saw it, I asked Zack if I could post it on my blog as an ode to all startups. The summer of 2003, I started an open-source (Drupal-based) project for the campaign (Deanspace), got a job in the campaign HQ in Burlington, VT, dropped out of school, and had about the most profound professional experience one could at age 19 in 2003.

I started blogging in December 2005. I still remember the excitement of creating my page on Blogger, acquired by Google in 2003. My first blog used to be goisrael.blogger.com. In the beginning blogging was all about self expression. In the beginning blogging was all about self expression. But we lost the naivety.

I loved seeing his promotion of companies that vaporized by 2003. First-person narrative ranges in quality (my blog is an example of that – some days good, some days not so much …) Susan Fowler did an incredible job with this book and her story. He got some of it really right and some of it really wrong.

I started my own marketing and communications agency back in 2003. I'd been hobby-blogging as a side hustle for a while, and when my second child was on the way I realized that I wanted to spend the maximum time at home with my kids while still contributing to the family income. It wasn’t really on my mind to start a blog.

But this was 2003 when AdWords was new. Because I have an unfair advantage in my network, because I’ve invested in blogging for three years.

I tend not to go into heat when I hear the latest buzz on the tech blogs about the latest gadgets. I actually wrote a long blog post about this but I’m trying to get TechCrunch to publish it before putting it on my blog. That’s always stuck with me. We’ll see. Measuring my daily activity.

Part of the fun of having a blog for a long time is that it captures some of the history – in the moment – of what’s going on. In 2003 – while Agile was known – it was largely limited to ISVs and a few leading IT organizations. It has been a rocket ship from there.

Now, you don’t have to churn out 401 blog posts to get real business from your blog, but you get the point. Unfortunately, people often don’t understand in practical terms what taking their blog seriously means. Once you get that blog post up, it sells for you for years, until your website goes offline.

I ran my first marathon in London this way in 2003 raising $3,000 for Parkinson’s disease (and finishing in under 4 hours – my publicly stated goal). How many social networks, picture sharing sites, new aggregators or blogs can we really spend time on? Nobody likes to raise money then look like a loser. In 6 months? In 3 months?

I have no idea how I missed the re-imagining of the series in 2003.
