Now well into our 30th year of publication (our 30th anniversary will be Sept. 4, 2011), we’re building up to that notable anniversary by, among other things, republishing the first year’s issues online every two weeks and running a contest to spot vintage ads from some of our original advertisers in each week’s paper.

And then there’s “30 Things“: our lists of 30 notable (or laughable or lamentable) takes on the Chronicle‘s coverage, culture, and commentary from the past three decades.

What’s new in “30 Things” this week. Oh, just “30 Oopses: Errors We Regret,” corrections from over the years lovingly compiled by Associate News Editor Nora Ankrum, whose feats and abilities are far too numerous to list here. Dig in; it’s a nerd’s paradise.

You can find it all on our website: austinchronicle.com/year30.
