Celebrating One Year at ScienceBlogs

On June 9, 2006, a large group of us joined ScienceBlogs at once, along with a facelift for the site at large. So, in celebration of our one year anniversary, I decided to pour through the archives of the last year, looking for common threads and patterns. Perhaps not so coincidentally, my
first post here alluded to cause and effect; a strange chain of reactions leading to a moment of enlightenment. So now, 365 days since that post, I believe I can sum it all up in one word, or even less, if you'll look closely at these waves of grass:

Emergence

Ok, so, I've just been outside playing in the grass. The emerging dapple dachshund is Gus, while the Howard Dean-like "arr" in the background belongs to my husband, Alan. And, with that, I'm going back out to enjoy the cool night...

Happy anniversary to my fellow SciBlings and our dear site, and to everyone else, have an enjoyable spring weekend!
