That works out to an average of six a week for the four-and-three-quarters years that Your Humble Blogger has been Humbly Blogging.<br \/>\n<p>My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2003\/06\/06\/1202.html\">100th note<\/a>, it turns out, was about Dennis Prager. Back in those days, I was having Eleana Benador email me right-wing columns to keep up with what was going on. I don&#8217;t know when that stopped, but it was a long time ago. Now the links from that entry are dead. Ah, well. Let&#8217;s go on.<br \/>\n<p>My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2004\/01\/16\/1695.html\">200th note<\/a> came as I was moving residences and internet service providers, and is memorable mostly because YHB forgot to give it a title, so Mine Gracious Host had to step in for me. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2004\/04\/03\/1938.html\">300th note<\/a> was a Book Report on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.librarything.com\/work\/1903891\">Ten and a Kid<\/a>, a lovely book by Sadie Rose Weilerstein that I would like to reread, now that I&#8217;ve been reminded of it. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2004\/08\/04\/2180.html\">400th note<\/a> is the first appearance of Barack Obama, a rather critical analysis of his keynote speech at DNC2004. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2004\/11\/04\/2397.html\">500th note<\/a> is a Parshah prep about <i>Chaye Sarah<\/i>. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2005\/01\/28\/2601.html\">600th note<\/a> is primarily a rant about the use of the word <i>meme<\/i>, but also contains a (still valid) offer to rant on any topic of a Gentle Reader&#8217;s choosing. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2005\/04\/17\/2788.html\">700th note<\/a> is a Book Report on Villa Incognito, which (like my 600th note) contains an egregious error. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2005\/08\/05\/3036.html\">800th note<\/a> was an unsuccessful attempt to find out if Gentle Readers who are sports fans enjoy their All-Star Games. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2005\/11\/04\/10041.html\">900th note<\/a> was an excellent example of the ways my Book Reports often fail to report on the book they purport to. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2006\/02\/10\/10142.html\">1,000th note<\/a> is an embarrassed little shrug about my arrogant ignorance of popular culture (specifically Harrison Ford flicks). It would have been nice if my thousandth entry were something cool, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2006\/02\/10\/10143.html\">the beginning of the <i>Liaisons<\/i> stuff<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2006\/02\/04\/10140.html\">a wonderful guest post by my Best Reader<\/a>. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2006\/07\/31\/10248.html\">1,100th post<\/a> is about intolerance and proselytizing in a small town in Delaware. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2006\/11\/14\/10352.html\">1,200th post<\/a> is Pure Drivel, or at least a Book Report on the work of that name. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2007\/03\/09\/10456.html\">1,300th post<\/a> is about feedback in the system of politics, policy and personality. My <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2007\/06\/26\/10557.html\">1,400th post<\/a> is a set of three things I didn&#8217;t have time to write about. And my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kith.org\/journals\/vardibidian\/2007\/10\/27\/10683.html\">1,500th entry<\/a> is one of those dumb navel-gazing entries that can&#8217;t get its head out of its own tailspin.<br \/>\n<p><I>Tolerabimus quod tolerare debemus<\/I>,<br>-Vardibidian.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Which Your Humble Blogger reveals a fondness for round numbers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[201],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-navel-gazing"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10683"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10683\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18143,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10683\/revisions\/18143"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/vardibidian\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
