What does this number mean exactly? After all, if you individually count the Patreon posts, YouTube videos, public podcasts, and other work on different platforms, I have well over two thousand distinct pieces. In terms of this main website, however - ranging from a few words (or even just a single image) to hours upon hours of audio presented as a single unit - this is my two thousandth post. The one thousandth post, which was a bit more long-winded, arrived less than eight years after the first, and this one arrives more than nine years after that - surprisingly even intervals despite the variety of my pace since 2008. (The span would have been even closer if not for my shift away from regular public posts in the fall of 2023.) That said, I use the term "one thousandth post" advisedly. From today's vantage point, after I restored a number of earlier posts that had been initially featured on other websites, that commemoration is actually my one thousand twenty-sixth post; the real one thousand post is my Oscar Blues montage video from a couple months earlier.
Here's a reminder of the best ways to explore my work aside from the five main categories on the home page (Twin Peaks, TV Viewing Diaries, Video Essays, written Film Reviews, and Podcasts)...
My strongest work, organized into five categories: essays, videos, images, lists, and podcasts
Striking images organized alphabetically by subject serve as links to the pieces featuring them
All of my individual posts, organized by era of my site's history

Nine years ago, I wrote, "Here's to 1000 more." I'm not sure if I truly believed that at the time, but here we are. I'm no less doubtful and (ambivalent) today. Still, in that same spirit, here's to 1000 more.
