So, it’s a new year.
I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of the readers of Law Dork for your comments, ideas, critiques and support over the past 11 months. I truly am blessed to have been given the opportunity to live this past year as I did. Though not the most lucrative operation, from a financial perspective, it has been an amazing time to regain a sense of my objectives and work toward making those goals my reality.
I’ve written for some amazing publications over the past year and give the most sincere of thanks the folks at The Advocate, The Atlantic, Salon, ACSblog, CAP’s Think Progress and, of course, Metro Weekly for giving me space to share my reporting or my opinions in 2009.
Here at lawdork.net alone, more than 50,000 visitors from more than 100 countries and all 50 states and the District of Columbia have come to read things that I’ve written since July, and many of you have engaged with me here, on Twitter or in e-mail during that time.
As we enter 2010, as I head to dinner with a wonderful law student friend who I never would have known were it not for Twitter, and as I anticipate some big changes in the weeks ahead, I am very thankful to everyone who has been a part of my past year and am eager to get 2010 in high gear.
