Life After Coffee

Today is one year from when I posted my very first post here on Life After Coffee. A lot has happened in the past year, much more than I ever anticipated! Here are some highlights:

• I have posted 236 stories (this is number 236)
• This site has been on the news in Chicago
• I have received countless positive comments (thanks everyone)
• The Caffeine WordPress Theme has been released and adopted by several sites
• Life After Coffee has been at the middle of the “My Cubicle” song parody which has gained much popularity online
• Life After Coffee has achieved a Technorati Rank of 10,317
• This site has received just shy of 1,000,000 hits!

Here are the five most popular stories from the past year:

1. My Cubicle - Song Lyrics
2. The Straight Poop on Kopi Luwak Coffee
3. Oracle, SQL, Dates and Timestamps
4. Performing Math on Oracle Dates
5. How to Create Auto Increment Columns in Oracle

But some of my favorite stories don’t rank in the top 5. Here’s a few of my favorite stories from year 1:

• Giant Drinking Birds
• Why Learn English
• World’s Ugliest Dog - Celebrity Counterparts
• World’s Biggest Jacob’s Ladder
• Why does Google Have a Calculator

So thanks to everyone for reading! I’m thrilled to have helped a few folks find the answers they were looking for. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed my rants and ramblings and believe me, there’s more to come.
