5 years!

While I was checking my calendar to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything that needed to get done this weekend (besides losing an hour of sleep – blargh…) I noticed it was the 5th birthday of this blog! A blog-like thing existed on the site from 1997 (hence the “archive posts”), but I moved to an official blog 5 years ago. I still wonder what took me to long to see that it was the obvious things to replace the old “news and events” page with!

And just a little personal update – I know I have been really spotty with stuff lately (in particular the last two weeks) but I should be able to get back on top of thing soon. I was really busy at work two weeks ago and then had to work last Saturday, which of course meant that it was even harder to catch up. And then last week I was at a science meeting for four days, so not much was done during that either. But this upcoming week is Spring Break here and I’m taking it off to decompress, catch up and of course enjoy some of the craziness that explodes in my hometown this time of the year. (One of these years I’m going to be able to afford to get a badge and attend everything! I usually only end up at the public and free events.)

Oh, and totally off topic – Happy Pi Day and Happy Birthday to Albert Einstein. 🙂
