Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of Carl Sagan's death. Many nerds are planning on commemorating the event by spending the day blogging about the man. According to Cornell U. News...
The event, organized by New York City fan Joel Schlosberg, encourages bloggers of all stripes to discuss the Cornell astronomer's influence in their lives. Schlosberg plans to compile a meta-blog -- a blog of blogs -- following the event to link Sagan bloggers to one another.
Nick Sagan, one of Sagan's sons, supports the effort. "The goal here is to make Dec. 20 a blogosphere-wide celebration of the life and works of Carl Sagan," he wrote. "So if you're a Carl Sagan fan with a blog, or you know someone who is, I hope you'll join in and take some time on that day to share your thoughts, memories, opinions and feelings about my dad. And if you could help spread the word, it would mean a lot to me."Fans and bloggers are planning a worldwide blog-a-thon to commemorate the life and legacy of Carl Sagan -- consummate scientist, communicator and educator -- on Dec. 20, the 10th anniversary of his death. Sagan was Cornell's David Duncan Professor of Astronomy and Space Sciences.
So I'm asking all Candleblog hands to be on deck and add a post or two about how Sagan affected you personally. Don't post it today, wait and do it tomorrow.
If you don't have a blog of your own but would like to participate (beyond just leaving a comment here tomorrow), go here and add your two cents... or your two billion cents, as it were.
