A Closet of Curiosities is 3 Years Old

Well, we made it through another year (May 26, 2006 - present). This may seem egotistical for me to post another anniversary or birthday post since I did it last year, but I believe that three years is a milestone in the blogosphere especially of this type of blog. A Closet of Curiosities has come far from an obscure blog with just a few visitors to a semi-obscure blog with more traffic.

I would like to thank H.C. Earwicker and Telvin Bartruss for contributing worthwhile and compelling posts during the past year. I would also like to thank other folks for posting contributions in the comments section including Davis for the Twilight Zone soundtrack box set.

Another thank you goes out to the folks who joined The Closet of Curiosities Fan Club (i.e. followers of this blog) as well as a thank you to those who left comments (except for those that left spam). Sorry, I haven't responded to all of the comments due to lack of time. I read all of them and they are appreciated (except the spam of course). I should also thank people who support this blog by linking to this blog on their blogs, websites and personal social networking pages.

Finally, I would like to thank my visitors for stopping by and checking out the stuff I post. I hope that so far I have accomplished what I set out to do which is for this blog to be an educational resource for electronic, avant-garde, ethnic, environmental/nature, improv and ambient music and sounds as well as the quirky novelty recordings and whatever else I occasionally like to show off to the world.

Looking back on the first post of A Closet of Curiosities, the post sounded ambitious. I am thinking about mixing it up a little by posting about books or visual art for example, but I do not want to stray too far from what I have been doing for the past 2 1/2 years on this blog that I was given. Then again, that is what my Twitter page is for and I need to really update that thing.

I was in the process of planning something special for this day, but a few incidents in real life occupied my attention this past weekend. So all I have is this chocolate cake that I found which looks tempting although I'm not crazy about the font. Dig in.
