Well, you know I almost missed it: Asymptotia, this little blog that you come to read from time to time, is two years old today! It has been a pleasure and an honour being part of this community we’ve formed, made up of you the reader and maybe sometime commenter, and me tossing up a few things to look at, consider, laugh at, and/or discuss from time to time. I really enjoy the kind of connections that are made, and seeing people brought together (both on- and off- line) using Asymptotia as a focal point. Have a look at what I said on this date last year, and in the inaugural post.
For those of you who are not regulars, assuming you’ve already read the about page, let me mention that I think of this blog as a bit like a gathering (a party, if you will) in a comfortable home, with people in several rooms carrying out (or just listening to) conversations of various sorts. Some rooms just have things to look at. Some people visit lots of rooms, others fewer. The rooms and/or conversations are fun and enlightening, and maybe sometimes a welcome break or diversion from something else you’re doing. Some people join in the chatter, some just listen. It’s all ok. Where are the rooms? It’s each post I’ve done. Scroll down the page, look in the sidebar, and hunt through the archives.
Thanks for coming over. I hope you continue to find things that interest you. If not, then that’s ok: goodbye and good luck. But if you do find something to linger for, sit in a comfy seat for a while, help yourself to refreshments, and sit awhile.

Congrats Clifford! It’s been great fun stopping by here these past two years. 🙂
Already?
Congrats, Clifford!
I second all the comments on your blog above.
Yours is my favorite blog because it balances lots of things I love–science, environment, movies, Aspen (that’s a love/hate relationship, actually, but at least it’s in Colorado, which I definitely love), and most of all, good writing. But it seems as though I’ve been reading your blog for more than two years. Congratulations, and thanks for writing this blog (I’m actually thinking about resurrecting my blog, in part inspired by a desire to completely explain why I *didn’t* like “The Dark Knight”….)
Congratulations! What a nice sketch to commemorate the occasion! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and activities and photos with us, it’s much appreciated. : )
Congrats and keep on truckin; this blog is too darn good.
