Five years ago yesterday, I changed my website from a static site including one page for “recent thoughts,” updated manually with the most recent thought at the top or in front, to a blog powered by Blogger. About one year’s worth of the old “recent thoughts” were eventually incorporated into the blog archives. At that time, I had been running the website for about five years, so this is about the ten year mark for me in total. I’m still debating how to celebrate.
Thank you to all my readers who come by once in a while and a special super thank you too those who have been with me for five or more years, through all the different incarnations.
Daily Links, updated here until I post again:
* Misconceptions about the Big Bang: A quick and understandable explanation of the origin of the universe and its tendency for accelerating expansion.
* The Web Not The Death Of Language: A study of instant messenger conversations among college students reveals that despite popular belief, horrible things are not being done to language.
* Google Movie Times and Google Movie Trivia: Another great innovation.
Happy Blogiversary to you! I’d never be able to do this for ten years, I’m impressed.
What IS that thing? A chipmunk? Why did you choose that?
That is Penfold from the British cartoon DangerMouse. He and Andy Richter were my website’s mascots for a while.
Website mascots???? Now I don’t feel like the odd one anymore. That just seems very strange to me. Maybe I’m just missing something. Although, he is cute.
