hall of fame acception speech till today

i also cant believe people criticized him for it.

thought americans loved people who kept it real

part one + part three

cuz i didnt see my boss all day so i wasnt able to say bye

which might have been just as well cuz it would have been sad.

we had a great run. three million to twenty million in less than two years. the hard way.

three blogs in the technorati top 100.

meanwhile the site as a whole became the fastest growing big newspaper site over the last year.

during a time when most big newspaper sites, because of a variety of serious reasons, have either lost audience, or barely increased at all.

it is the end of an era, and a very classy era, all because of her.

speaking of ends, one more thing you should know about my boss. early on it could have very easy for her to say hey i think its in everyones best interest to get rid of the busblog. and i would have totally understood. but she said no the blog editor should have a blog, and she loved the busblog, especially on ask tony days.

i believe the reason i didnt see her today was because they were trying to drain every last drop of magic from her brain.

in which case i hope they work overtime.
