My Fellow Pupae,
After a long day sick at home today, as I prepare to watch the State of the Union Address, I thought it might be nice to briefly reflect on the state of our friendly little blog, which is now just about a week over 9 months old. Due to the formidable haze of cold and flu medicine, my remarks will be mercifully short.
We have, I think, in these past 9 months, developed something helpful, good, and unique. We have become a friendly place for graduate students and faculty to discuss philosophy, the profession, the job market, work-life issues, and each other's working papers. We have become such a place due to the many wonderful contributions of Moti Mizrahi, David Morrow, Tuomas Tahko, and Mark Alfano, all of whom I would like to informally recognize as distinguished contributors.
I would also like to thank everyone else who has contributed or commented, as you all have helped make the Cocoon a great, supportive place to come and converse.
To date, we have had 92,872 site visits, with a one-day high of 3,013 visits (on Jan 7th), and we are averaging between 350-600 visits a day recently.
I realize this has been about as boring as an actual State of the Union Address. Whatever, I'm sick today — sue me. Hope everyone feels better than I do. May the world bless you, and this, the Philosophers' Cocoon. ;)
