This is my 500th post!

Well I would write five hundred posts
And I would write five hundred more
To be the man who wrote a thousand posts
To fall down at your door

I'm struggling to think of something insightful to say on my five hundredth post...but it's not coming. So maybe I should put this off until I've got ideas. But I'm so excited! So bear with me while I write my crappy five hundredth post.

What have I learned from Steve Kwan dot com? Well, I like to think it's taught me to write more engaging material. Looking back at some of my earlier posts, I don't think they're as interesting as what I write now.

I've also gotten into the habit of proof-reading my posts more. Hopefully they don't contain as much redundant or useless information as they used to; my apologies if they do.

What has Steve Kwan dot com done for me? When I first started this site I vainly hoped it would result in some sort of cyber-fame. Of course, I knew that would never happen. But what did happen - and I didn't expect it - is that I received interest from Microsoft, Amazon.com, Google, and more. So there is a reason to blog.

This site has also helped me hone my user experience and Web development skills. My career's taken a sharp turn towards the user-oriented arts over the past year, and Steve Kwan dot com has had a lot of influence in that decision.

I've had a great time writing the past 500 posts, and I look forward to writing 500 more. Keep reading!
