Apparently my self-absorption knows some bounds: it did not occur to me until just now that today, July 2, marks the Ninth Anniversary of the inception of this blog. Having sprung this realization upon myself all unexpected, I have not shown the foresight nececesary to craft a traditional poste nostalgique. Perhaps if I am still here for Anniversary Number Ten next year, I will overcompensate.

Here, then, an appropriate musical interlude: Matt Marks' arrangement of the Beatles' "Revolution 9" as performed by Alarm Will Sound.
