Siskoid's Blog of Geekery Year 1

One Star Trek review a day served two purposes: 1) insuring daily content and 2) easily figuring out how long I've been doing this. #365 came out today, so that's a full year of the SBG. 365 days, 813 posts (so should I have been worried about daily content?), 2 banners and lots of new friends.

The biggest challenge for me, I think, has been balancing various spheres of geekery I'm interested in. Looking at my Labels list, the most popular topics have been:
-Star Trek (366): Obviously, as the format demanded it.
-Comics (274): It's how I got into the blogosphere, after I discovered many of the very entertaining comics blogs in the side-bar here.
-Batman (75): He's hard to avoid, especially when you're laughing at Brave and the Bold and the Outsiders.
-Geekly roundup (50): Once a week, but obviously, I started a bit late.
-Movies (40): A pretty vague label, which does include DVD Tales.
-Doctor Who (40): A true passion, these have more thought behind them, so there are fewer.
-Thursdays of Two Worlds: An on-again, off-again feature. It's a cheap way of showing off homage covers.
-RPGs: A major interest, but hard to work into the blog, I admit.
-Outsiders (39): A couple pages of snark a day got that number up.
-Websites (38): Sometimes added to the geekly roundup, but not a real commitment.

Other fields of geekery that have suffered in comparison include anime (1), CCGs (2), geekwear (3), music (3), SF (2), toys (10) and TV (5), but of course, each would doubtless have more if I'd labeled every little mention in This Week in Geek.

So what's ahead for the SBG? More of the same, certainly. Completing Star Trek will take another year, and there's another series of Doctor Who in 2008. The Outsiders still suck, and Bob Haney is still insane. That won't ever change. So stay tuned, friends, I'm here to stay and I thank you profoundly for your patronage thus far.

And if there's anything old you want back, or anything new you want addressed, feel free to leave a comment. I am nothing if not your humble servant. I geek out so you don't have to.
