California Golden Blogs turns 10 years old! How did it all start?

ragnarok: I remember sometime in 2004, Twist sent me a link to a little site called Athletics Nation, and I loved it. Even more than the content (and how Blez managed to get candid interviews with Billy Beane back then I have no idea), I loved the community, which built up in part around the "Diaries" section (the precursors to FanPosts) and the Daily Link Dump (which was the partial inspiration for the DBD). I really really wished there was something equivalent for Cal sports, but unfortunately SportsBlog Nation back then was only a handful of MLB sites, with no college blogs at all.
