Today marks three years<\/a> of more or less regular blogging. I know it
\ndoesn’t sound like a long time in ordinary human years, but in blog years it’s
\nsomething close to 108. Yipes. Feels like eons. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In year one, there were 221 entries. In year two, 271. And this
\nyear, year three, a record low 199 entries, a disappointing sum which must
\ninclude an asterisk to account for qualifying exams and the 100 notes entries
\nposted to this blog’s exam-focused
\ncounterpart<\/a>. Whether or not there’s much fanfare (are those trumpets?), I’m
\ncelebrating three years, which, it turns out, is just barely older than average
