Gothamist's First Year

A year (plus some beta testing time) has passed for Gothamist, and we've decided to look at our progress against a human baby's:
- First month - Blinks at bright lights
- Second month - Smiles
- Third month - Interested in circular and spiral patterns
- Fourth month - Explores objects with his mouth
- Fifth month - Experiments with the concept of cause and effect
- Sixth month - Reaches for and grabs objects
- Seventh month - Makes wet razzing sounds
- Eighth month - Chews on objects
- Ninth month - Picks up tiny objects
- Tenth month - Understands the concept of object permanence
- Eleventh month - Understands "no"
- Twelfth month - May form attachment to an item

And as God is our witness, we will have another Happy Hour...just not in February. But don't fret - on February 26, Bluejake is organizing an event at the Apple Store in SoHo for New York City Photobloggers and their fans. More details to come.

happy birthday, I can't think of anything nerdier than throwing a photoblogger party at the apple store.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go upgrade to a camera phone...

it was a pretty good first year for gothamist! but i think we can do better in year two. the more i think about, the more i think gothamist should be a full service site, focusing on the quirky side of nyc that we love. so more interviews, food coverage, crime, shopping, hell- if i could find someone to blog about new york city weather i'd hire them (for free) in 2 seconds. what do you guys want to see here? comment boards? hot nyu girls? tell me and i'll see what i can do. and if a nyc weather blogger is out there, email me pronto!

Happy BirthdayUnfortunately, you're not gonna be the baby on the block anymore, so your youthful exuberance (sp?) will no longer be appreciated. Heh, just kidding, I'm sure it will.
