Which was a real treat for me because Buster happens to be the FIRST blogger who ever linked to yours truly.

Those who have their own blogs will remember that feeling, when one day you realize WOW somebody is actually READING this stuff.

I informed Buster that he is responsible for helping create a monster, for I have far passed those days of one single link.

My Technorati Rating has me today at #6,941 out of the 33.2 millions blogs on the Internet with 816 links from 202 sites and according to eXTReMe Tracking I have had visitors from almost 100 different countries.

In memory of those early days my blogroll has quite a few links to websites that are in the Multicellular Microorganisms level.

Because I like what they have to say and who knows that blog that I am the only link to today may well far surpass me in the future.

Look at the title of my own blog Committees of Correspondence, I firmly believe that the Blogs ARE the 21st Century Committees of Correspondence and I do not intend to post in isolation, but as part of a Community of like interests and philosophy.

So as I said it was a real pleasure to meet another of the online community and swap, experience, strength and hope.

As a matter of fact Buster and I discussed making an official Eastern Iowa Blog Con as an annual event.

But we don't plan on waiting a whole more year and we discussed using some bait to entice other bloggers.

Premise, those that write blogs, read. Those that write blogs, have an interest in technology. Those that read and have an interest in technology read Science Fiction.

It happens that for the last 30 years or so there has been a Sci Fi Con in the Cedar Rapids, Coralville area called ICON.

This year will be ICON 31 October 13-15, 2006, at the Clarion Hotel

So come join us in the Fun this Fall. Good Company, trading blogging tales and GOOD Sci Fi the Author this year will be C.S. Friedman

It appears that the paypal pre=registration link is not working tonight I will post an update when it gets fixed,

So join the two April Fools this Fall for Fun and Frolic. Looks like Buster takes a better photo, I will try to at least look more allert this October!
