June 22, 2012 will mark the tenth anniversary of the founding of this blog<\/a>. While I would like to one day be famous enough to be able to staple together a collection of loosely related blog posts and call it a book, I’m not there yet. This particular arbitrary numerical signifier does, however, seem worth some commemoration. Also, while I have some idea of how the site has evolved over the last ten years, it’s been a slow process, so I thought it would be interesting to troll back through the archives and see how things used to be.<\/p>\n

Next Friday, appropriately enough the 13th, will be exactly ten weeks short of the ten-year anniversary. So, my vague plan (more of an aspirational goal, really) is to go back through the archives, starting with the original blogger site<\/a> and highlight some of the most notable stuff from each year of this blog’s existence each of the next ten Fridays.<\/p>\n

So, why am I mentioning this today, which is not a Friday, in a post which does not contain any outstanding historical bloggage? Well, for one thing, most of my mental processing cycles are currently taken up by unpleasant stuff that I can’t blog, but can’t stop thinking about. More importantly, though, there’s a vast amount of material here, and to go through it quickly will require a lot of skimming, and I might miss some stuff. <\/p>\n

So, consider this post both notice of the upcoming series of posts, and also an open forum to suggest things from this blog’s past that I ought to keep an eye out for. If there’s an old post that you particularly liked, leave a URL in the comments; if there’s something you sorta-kinda remember, leave a description and I’ll try to find it as I go through old stuff.<\/p>\n

And if any publishing types out there would like to buy a shaggy best-of collection of blog posts by a physics professor and midlist-y pop-science writer, email me, and we can talk….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
