100 Posts!

Can you believe it?  I have been waiting to be able to finally tag “Day1xx”, and that day is finally here!

I could say something momentous on this occasion.  But I’m not sure that’s really necessary — you can imagine that keeping a blog running for 100 weeks with (hopefully!) interesting posts on mathematics, creativity, and art is momentous emough.

But I have been running into a problem:  my blog is getting harder to search.  For example, I just got five pages of results by searching for “fractal”!  So I thought I’d put together an index of all my blog posts, organized by category.

I hope this is of use to newer followers — you might like certain topics better than others, and this way you can easily look at older posts related to the ones you like.

The category a post is listed under is what I consider its primary category — but rarely does a single post only address on topic.  But surely this index is a step in the right direction.

And lastly, I would like to thank all my followers for encouraging to keep me going.  I get an email every time someone likes or comments — and I appreciate each one. Thanks again!
