It was four years ago today that Yours Truly woke up on a Sunday morning and decided, "It's time to start my own blog." And lo and behold, The Mighty Quinn Media Machine was born. The name just popped into my head when I was creating the blog that day.

A friend once called me a "one-man media machine" and that's where that part came from, and like just about everyone else in the United States named Quinn, the adjective "mighty" has been with me since I can remember. So a name was born. (I specifically didn't put the words "Red Sox" into it, as I knew I'd be writing about more than just baseball.)

I've had about 230,000 hits on my blog since I've started, and written 2,617 posts. It's really been a joy to write this blog, and I've seen people from all over the world stop by here, whether they are looking for trivia questions, the latest on the Red Sox, or through a Google search. (I still haven't seen anyone from North Korea stop by here, as it is the only major country I can think of that I haven't seen pop up on SiteMeter. I've seen Cuba, Afghanistan, Mongolia, Iraq, Iran, and the most obscure Pacific Islands there, but the North Koreans are the last holdout.)

Thanks to all of you for your good wishes and for taking the time to stop here every so often.

Hopefully, the best is yet to come!
