Oxygenvalve has undergone MANY changes since its inception way back in 2000… Holy crap, it’s been that long? I just checked the anniversary date and it’s April 13, 2000. Happy 10th birthday Oxygenvalve!! (That’s ancient in web years!) Mike and I arbitrarily came up with the name based on the lyrics of a song we liked, and purchased the domain to use as a joint plot of web space — long before we even talked about marriage! We’ve had college projects, portfolios, photo galleries, etc; most of which are long gone.
We’ve been collectively blogging since 2003 — each of us with our own segregated web spaces. Over the years, Mike’s interest in blogging has waned to the point where the time span between posts is often months. However, he has recently expressed interest in collaborating on blog posts or doing an occasional feature on my blog instead of feeling guilty for not posting enough on his own blog. I am more than happy to oblige him! So keep an eye out for upcoming posts authored by Mr. Mike himself! I can only guess what he’ll have to say, but I suspect you might see posts on food, parenthood, homeownership etc… Please welcome him into this small tiny slice of the blogosphere. :)
Thanks for reading!!!
-Vanessa & Mike
