Thanks Dustin. So far, so good. I’ll have to write a post about it soon.

Totally late on this one, but congrats! I think you’ll love working for a web company.

Thanks Rob. Yeah, I agree that fat burners would probably be a bad idea in my case, but I do like the protein shakes.

I’ll definitely miss working with you, other MI folks, affiliate devs, and my co-workers at the Statesman. It wasn’t an easy decision, but I believe it was the best one for me.

Best of luck to you and the rest of MI.

Congratulations Patrick!

You’re tall and thin already so you won’t need to get out the protein shakes, creatine supplements, and fat burners.

I’m convinced you’ll do well everywhere you go. I’ll miss working with you.

Thanks Josh. Bodybuilding.com has a strong commitment to open source, so Drupal is definitely on the table as a possibility. I’ve been impressed with it in my work at the Statesman and we’re only using version 5.x.

Congratulations! That sounds like it will be a great adventure. Maybe even a little Drupal added to their bag of tricks.

ClaaaaAaaAaaAark,

I’m glad to see you’ve added a few slashes, but I still think I got you beat in the slash department buddy (unfortunately). I can’t wait to eliminate most my slashes so I can play more golf, LMAO.

Comment on One year at the Statesman by Patrick

Tac,
Thanks very much. Coming from you, those compliments carry significant weight. However, I feel a need to clarify a couple of points:

1. The Statesman was already planning to add a lot of the new features (blogs, forums, comments, etc.) before I arrived. I was hired in part for my experience with these sorts of features, but I didn’t come up with the ideas.

2. Due to my participation in the local tech community, I’m probably the most visible person who works on the Statesman web properties but I’m really just one cog in a very large wheel. Most of the credit is really due to the other members of our small local online team, the dozens of developers at McClatchy Interactive who back us up, and of course all of our reporters, editors, and photographers who produce such great content day in and day out.

Having said all that, I do like to think that I’ve made at least a small mark on this place so far. And you’re definitely right about the Statesman having more tricks up its sleeve for online. I can’t talk about any of them right now, but stay tuned for several interesting launches in the coming year.

Patrick,
It’s crazy to think that it was just a year ago.

I have to say (and I am biased towards new media) the work you have done with the Statesman has by far been the most impactfull work done at the Statesman.

I would be interested to know how much their online readership has grown over the last year. Commenting and blogs alone have had to have a huge impact on page views (which of course drives ad rates).

Of anyone at the paper I think you have probably had some measurable affects on the business.

Here’s to another year, I can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve.

How about the One Man Army.

Anyway, this may never change in the world of the web. Enjoy.
