And if you find to your horror that you&#8217;ve been reading <em>Cosmic Variance<\/em> when you meant to be reading <em>Not Exactly Rocket Science<\/em>,  there&#8217;s a helpful widget in the right column that can take you directly to any of the other <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.discovermagazine.com\/\"><em>Discover<\/em> blogs<\/a>.  Thanks to the crack team at <em>Discover<\/em> for the upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also added a widget that keeps you updated on our <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/cosmicvariance\/cosmic-variance\">Twitter feeds<\/a>.  Right now that means <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/seanmcarroll\">mine<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/decohere\">Daniel&#8217;s<\/a>, as well as the <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/cosmicvariance\"><em>Cosmic Variance<\/em> feed<\/a> (mostly, but not exclusively, links to each new blog post), and one I set up for <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/#!\/eternitytohere\"><em>From Eternity to Here<\/em><\/a>.  But who knows what the exciting future may bring?  Actually I worry a bit that the blog has become less likely since I started with Twitter, since one-liner-type links to interesting things generally go there rather than here.  Leaving all the more substantial stuff for the blog, which is great, but there&#8217;s only so much time for substantial stuff, so the posting frequency has gone down.  Or maybe I just worry too much.<\/p>\n<p>In older but no less fascinating news, we have <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pages\/Cosmic-Variance\/180769895281336\">a Facebook fan page<\/a>.  And &#8212; it&#8217;s down a bit, so you may have missed it &#8212; the long-lamented &#8220;recent comments&#8221; widget has reappeared.<\/p>\n<p>Last summer we passed our fifth year of blogging at Cosmic Variance, and didn&#8217;t even really notice.
