I swore I wasn’t going to miss it this year, as I did [last year](/2006/06/) and the [year before](/anniversaries/) (and the [year before that](/2004/06/), and the [year before that](/oops-2/)). I even went so far as to put it on my iCal, so that I’d remember to mark the occasion, but then I failed to look at the calendar yesterday. It’s a bit disappointing. I mean, this was moderately significant: the five year anniversary of starting things up here at [Planned Obsolescence](/opening-day/). I’d meant to mark the moment, but as wonky as my moment-to-moment understanding of what moment it is has gone, it’s not surprising that I missed it.

In any event, to mark the just-having-passedness of the moment: I’ve instituted a little “Five Years Ago” link, to be found at right. I’m curious what will happen on a day when, five years before, there was no post, but I guess we’ll see.
