The first blog I can remember reading regularly was memepool.com. It’s still there but hasn’t been updated in over a year. Then I discovered J-Walk Blog and was hooked. Like many of you I was forwarding funny things people sent me. I always worried about whether some wouldn’t want to receive this stuff, so I decided to start Bits & Pieces. The name comes from a column I wrote in a newsletter for a club I belonged to. Bits & Pieces began on March 31, 2002 over at BitsandPieces1.blogspot.com but posting was sporadic for the first couple of years. I moved B&P to WordPress and it’s own domain name BitsandPieces.us in early 2008. April also was the great B&P hack which cleaned out the website.
