Well, today Ablogistan turns three months old, which means it is no longer officially a "new blog" according to those who run the mighty blogosphere. And since I'm busy repairing the damage I recently did to the website, we'll replace any insightful posts with a look back at the first three months of Ablogistan:

April 13-May 13
* The first post of the blog, nothing exceptional, but it was a start.
* One of my favorite early posts was about Mark Twain and poker.
* Who can forget this gem, which got posted on Fark.com and brought Ablogistan nearly 12,000 visitors in one day?
* I probably put the most effort into this article published on the anniversary of the erradication of smallpox.
* And finally from the first month, my second Fark.com article about the White House press dinner, brought in over 20,000 visitors in one day.

May 13-June 13

* The Adventures of Acinom, Ablogistan's lowly intern, made its debut.

* The last taboo is less political and more philosophical, which is where I'd like to take the blog.

* My first and only fiction entry: The Meaning of a Flush.

June 13-July 13

* I found a new definition for the Blame America First crowd.

* I read an interesting review of what seems like an interesting book, about an interesting topic.

And that's about it. I've been travelling a lot in the last month and haven't been posting quite as frequently. In fact, it's kind of depressing to think that in Ablogistan's first month of existance we had nearly 40,000 visitors, and now if you look at the site meter, the daily average is in double digits.

Well, however you choose to celebrate Ablogistan's birthday, make it a safe one.
