The martial arts community I launched on May 21, 2001 turned 24 years old today.
Last year, we completed a multi-year migration to move the community from old software that was slowly breaking to modern community software that would ensure the community could last 30, 40, 50 years. @chrispian worked a lot on this, with an assist from @mattmecham and crew.

Like thousands of others, I am now a minority owner of the Oakland Ballers, an independent pro baseball team, after participating in their recent Community Investment Round.
