On the evening of July 5, 2011, from the Starbucks in Worldwide Plaza in midtown, the predecessor site to this one posted its first daily rundown:

It's been an off-and-on endeavor, and at times, it was a bit short-form, but it's proved to be a very interesting hobby over the years. Sometime in 2013, the site passed 2,500 opinion summaries, and there have probably been another thousand or so since. All freely linked, no ads, and most summaries same-day. No marketing, but eventually the long tail of organic search returns resulted in a decent audience.
Scrambling from Starbucks to Starbucks to post the last few decisions of the night.... Cadging a library terminal when the equipment gave out... Interesting times. Not really a labor of love. More like a labor of respect. And excellent batting practice.
Onward.
