Believe it or not it is precisely one year since Cosmic Variance‘s launch. We don’t want to make a particularly big deal over our baby’s birthday, and we certainly won’t be having an elaborate party and inviting other people with young blogs over to hang out and pretend like the blogs know what’s going on.
But we’re having fun and hope you’re enjoying it. Thanks for continuing to visit.

Cosmic Variance is a group blog by people who, coincidentally or not, all happen to be physicists and astrophysicists:
Our day (and night) jobs notwithstanding, the blog is about whatever we find interesting — science, to be sure, but also arts, politics, culture, technology, academia, and miscellaneous trivia. We have similar outlooks on many things, widely disparate opinions about others, and will do our best to keep the discourse reasonably elevated.

I think the blogs are having their own party. They haven’t told us about it and they are all talking about what squares we are. (I believe they may be imbibing.)
PS. Congratulations. This is, like, the best blog. Ever.

[...] Birthdays are a good time to reflect on one’s place in the universe. Via Data Mining, here is a map of the blogosphere, on which we have helpfully circled Cosmic Variance. The original map is interactive, so you can click on each circle to visit the corresponding blog. We are in a good neighborhood, close to such elite properties as Majikthise, Bitch Ph.D., Lance Mannion, Shakespeare’s Sister, Eschaton, The Huffington Post, and Talking Points Memo. At the top you see a big black dot (Engadget) and an even bigger looming orange dot (Boing Boing); the thicket at the right is filled with blogs I know nothing about, which tells you something, although I don’t know what.

I wonder how many “multi-blogger” blogs actually survive 1 year? Congrats.
