From August of 2001 to the spring of 2004, I maintained Olympia Newsboy. It was my first shot at blogging and, for the most part, I think I did a pretty good job.

I started out with complaining about the scalping laws in Seattle and their selective enforcement and also got into local politics.

I can’t really remember why I shuttered Olympia Newsboy, but from what I can tell from this blog’s archives, I started Olympia Time just about time I shuttered Olympia Newsboy. I can’t explain it, but despite shutting the blog down, there wasn’t much of a lapse in blogging.

Anyway, thank God for the internet archive, I’m probably going to sweep up as many posts that were saved there and fold them into this blog.
