Eight is a big number in internet years, and as of today February 2nd 2014 I am happy to share that Jamaipanese.com has been prancing about the blogosphere for 8 years! My little geek-flavoured slice of the internet continues to be my refuge as I share all that I find interested while staying connected to my readers from all corners of the globe.
The last year was very good to Jamaipese.com and although I didn’t manage to realize a few of my dreams and projects I had planned for the blog I intent to make more good things happen in 2014 so stay tuned! I spent some time looking through some older posts on Jamaipanese.com and was encouraged to put together a listing of important events over the Jamaipanese.com timeline. New and longtime readers can take a look at it below and share your thoughts via a comment or via twitter @Jamaipanese. A usual thank you for your support and looking forward to an excited year so stay tuned for some announcements in the coming weeks ;).
