Has It Really Been A Year?

So, Happy Blogiversary to me! One year ago today I officially started blogging here at Science Blogs. Here's my incredibly dull first entry. Although I did use the word "penis" in it.

By the way, this is also my 300th post on Science Blogs, though I have no idea how many posts I made on the old site at Radio Userland.

Yay for me! Now I'm off to Gettysburg for the Bluegrass Festival - again.

The series of interviews with some of the participants of the 2008 Science Blogging Conference was quite popular, so I decided to do the same thing again this year, posting interviews with some of the people who attended ScienceOnline'09 back in January. Today, I asked Elissa Hoffman, a blogging…
New Year's Day, a time to reminisce about the past year, perhaps to analyze its ups and downs, and in the blogosphere: to link to one's "Best of" posts for all of those who missed them. I posted 2960 posts so far this year - with six days to go I may reach 3000. It is not easy sifting through all…

Heartiest congratulations on surviving around these lunatics for a whole year! Seriously, your voice is absolutely essential to any discussion of parity in science and engineering. Sorry to miss you in NYC, otherwise I would've bought you a celebratory beer.

Here's to many more years of writing about things "so atrocious and disgusting" that we'll all continue to be "horking up [our] breakfast."

Happy Blogiversery!

Happy blogiversary! I always enjoy reading your blog; you are not afraid to call out the things that many of us are experiencing or thinking, and I so appreciate that.

Thanks everybody! You all are so nice! It is a pleasure blogging for this community. Jane, thanks especially for what you said - that means a lot to me. Abel, I'm so sorry you couldn't come to NYC. I'll see you in January in NC, no? I hope so!
