Happy Fifth Birthday to Us!

By James Kendrick | Tuesday, June 16, 2009 | 4:09 PM CT | 21 comments |

Time flies so fast when you’re having fun that we totally missed an important date here on jkOnTheRun. That date would be our fifth birthday, as the site fired up for the first time on May 10, 2004. That’s a lot of years in blog years, and I must say, it has been a wild and wonderful ride. Thanks to you the readers for making what we do so much fun and worth all of the hard work. Happy belated birthday to us!

Happy BDay jkOTR

  • How the heck do your miss your own birthday?! Isn’t that what calendar reminders are for?! Geez! I sure hope this year you start putting all this cool mobile tech to WORK for a change instead of just playing with it! *lol*

    Happy mobile tech birthday! :)

  • Dear James and Kevin,

    Congratulations from the Netherlands!! I think I got hooked early 2005. Since then, I did not miss a day. You certainly spiced up my live, being a real gadget freak myself.
    Long live both to you and your blog.

  • Congratulations. It’s funny how all of my favorite blogs are passing the five year mark. Engadget and now jkontherun. Thanks for the good articles and smart analysis. I launched my first blog this week and I’m really excited to meet new people. It would be an honor if you and Kevin post a congratulation comment on my blog webkritic.com for it’s 5 year anniversary.

    Keep up the good work guys. I can’t thank you and Kevin enough.

  • Thanks for the warm wishes everyone, but there’s one correction to the post. *I* didn’t miss the big day at all. I wore a hat, ate cake and had a pony ride. Meant to invite you all but it was a small, tired pony. ;)

  • happy belated birthday guys.. if you hung on to a laptop or phone long enough to both set and allow a reminder to go off you may not have missed it. of course, if you did hang on to that tech long enough, it wouldn’t be nearly as fun……
