July 29, 2006 A new video is available. The next update will be three weeks from now (August 19).
June 24, 2006 New video is up. You'll notice my dad in one of the last frames. Happy Father's Day. On a side note, I strongly urge you to support Sweden in this year's World Cup.
May 25, 2006 For more incredible beard-growing action, I suggest you see Tommy's beard. I envy him.
May 12, 2006 As interest in the site has settled, I'm going to return to monthly updates to the video instead of bi-weekly starting at the end of May. Have a good summer!
April 29, 2006 Product placement: I hope Gordon Biersch sends me stuff for all the free publicity they're getting. They do make a dependable glass.
April 25, 2006 Keyword analysis: The following are some of the terms used to find my site on search engines - "now start a beard" (obvious), "beard," "compress year life 45 seconds," "how to start a beard" (go elsewhere), "Imogen Heap" (WTF?), "to beard or not to beard."
April 15, 2006 The new video is online. Also, I have decided to try to cash in by selling merch. So why not visit the official NSAB store and pick up some gifts for yourself or people you care about, but don't really know what they like. Here's a sample of what you'll find:
The NSAB "Hat Agenda" Hat Tell the world what was already implied by wearing a hat: That you support wearing hats.
The NSAB "Facial Hair is the New Anime" Ladies' Ringer How does wearing this shirt support feminism? By neither trying to suppress it (so it dissolves into nothing), nor to encourage it (so it spirals out of control). You're welcome.
April 9, 2006 On second thought, I'll keep going with YouTube. Also, on April 15, there'll be a surprise with the update. Hint: I like money.
April 3, 2006 I've temporarily switched the video hosting from Google Video to YouTube while my latest clip is being verified with Google.
April 2, 2006 I did not anticipate all the traffic I've been getting to my site. Over 20,000 hits so far! Since people have short memories on the internet, I figured I should do what I can to retain some of this. I've decided to post bi-weekly instead of monthly, and very soon (hopefully today) I'll post the most up-to-date footage I have.
April 1, 2006 I notice that I have been getting a lot of traffic from Japanese blog Hiroburo. Their description of my site (according to Google Translate) is:
Approximately, 2 month and half, image of 9 seconds which can connect the mug shot which everyday almost was photographed with the same angle. This project still at halfway stage, designates finally as image 45 seconds of pictures of 1 year, because so is, you try probably to wait in the pleasure.
Uh… alright. So to everyone from Japan:
私の場所を訪問する為にあなたに感謝しなさい! あなた がそれを楽しみ, のそして他の所であなたの友人及び家族に日本 言い, ことを私は望む。これが非常によく翻訳しなければ私は残 念である。
April 1, 2006 Holy crap. I wake up this morning to find that I've already received 5000 hits today. Anyway, I've noticed a lot of people questioning the quality of my beard (see below). I agree, it is pretty rough (see FAQ). But you've gotta work with what you've got.
March 30, 2006 Response to website: I've read some reaction to the site on the internet. Some is positive (usually in reference to the stop-motion effect), some is negative (usually in reference to my less-than-impressive beard), and some is indifferent. Thanks to all for visiting and voicing an opinion.
March 25, 2006 A note for German-speaking viewers: Ich beachtete heute morgen, dass ich einige Besucher von Österreich hatte. Danke für das Besuchen meiner Website. Ich hoffe, dass Sie es mögen und dass Sie Ihren Freunden im wundervollen Kontinent von Europa erklären. Auch ich entschuldige mich für meine schlechten deutschen Fähigkeiten. Jetzt da ich an es denke, ist dieses nicht wirklich Nachrichten.
March 22, 2006 Site launched today without much hoopla.
