Four years ago, inspired by my friends Deenster’s and Cory’s blogs, I decided to start my own little blog and came up with the name “Joey deVilla’s Hall of Shame”. While searching the web for some possible site graphics ideas, I stumbled across this image:
For those of you who don’t recognize the people in the photo, it’s a publicity still for the old television show Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Seeing this image, I decided on a better name for this blog, which I’ve kept to this day.
Today is the 4th anniversary of this blog. During such anniversaries, it is traditional for the blogger to wax philosophical about blogging and talk about how it has changed his or her life. Normally, I’d indulge, but today’s turning out to be a bit of a busy day both at work and home, so I’ll make do with this laundry list of statistics that I was able to pull together last night.
It’s been a great four years! Thanks to all of you who’ve read, commented and link to me.

Joey, let me be the first then! Thanks for being such an interesting daily read. There's nothing like a good slice of local blogging to brighten the day.

Like Wendy with your blog entries, when Hilde and I started going together back in 1976, Hilde asked me for copies of all my old fanzines, so she could get a better idea of what she was getting into.
She married me anyway.
