New Edition Day

The URI! Zone turns 27 years old this month, which is how old I was when I met Rebecca. Here's what I looked like at 27:

And here's what the website looks like at the same age. Clearly, one of us wears 27 better than the other:

By the numbers, here's what the URI! Zone looks like today:

• over 197,000 unique visitors since 2003
• 4876 blog posts since 2001
• 9285 comments from 153 unique visitors since 2003
• 9761 images, MP3s, and other files, totaling 526 megabytes
• over $4550 spent on web hosting since 2003

The URI! Zone will persist for years to come. I'm already saving mad dollar bills with 3-year purchases of cloud servers, so at a minimum, I'll have to be around through 2025 to recoup my investment. I do want to give the whole site a makeover at some point. I've liked the road sign motif enough to keep it around for over 13 years, but maybe it's time for something more modern? Bitcoins and Prime Trucks? Nanobots and Teslas?

The makeover project is slated for sometime next year at the earliest. In the meantime, stick around for the endless deluge of cute kid pics and reviews!

Thank you for your continued friendship and readership!
