Happy Birthday

Its hard to believe that a year has already passed since our inaugural post. Certainly a lot has changed over the past 12 months but at its heart, our little website here is very much the same. We have added a few whistles and bells: A fancy custom logo, a full line of merchandise, a host of widgets and links to other entertaining and enriching websites, but the essence of what we're trying to do here remains the same. What is that goal? That overarching purpose that guides us? In many ways, its beauty is its simplicity:

To be the website you choose to seek enlightenment, whatever that may be.

A lofty goal indeed, but we're not talking about religious salvation here. We're talking about capturing your attention for a few minutes at a time, maybe throwing something at you that you never saw coming. We celebrate the little things that bring joy and excitement into our lives, that make us laugh and make us cry, and by posting on here we can share these things with all of you. At first glance, a blog that does not have a "specific" purpose shouldn't work right? We don't buy that at all. I believe, and I'll take the liberty of speaking for my colleagues here, that life is too short to limit ones consumption of information on sports, music, film, society, etc... to highly specialized sources of information. We embrace the randomness that other sites avoid at all costs. The diversity of subjects covered on Roomofzen doesn't limit our ability to thrive, and more than anything, we believe that it is this diversity that gives us our strength and gives you, the readers, a better internet experience. We know that there are lots of great sites on the Internet you could be visiting, but you are here now, and for that we thank you. We're all in this together, and that's alright.

Looking forward I can tell you that we plan to continue growing in the future. As our technological abilities increase we will continue to develop new mediums for getting good information and entertainment to you. We don't pretend to be innovators, but we do intend to offer a quality product unlike any other that you might find out there on the internet. Its a jungle out there (I always wanted to say that in some sort of organized forum, and to be honest it was better than I expected). Your feedback and involvement has been instrumental in the development and growth of this site, so we continue to encourage your participation. As always you can email us directly at oracle@roomofzen.com, or simply respond with your thoughts to the posts. But you already know this. Surely, our readers our no fools.

Stay tuned for for more from our other authors on our 1 Year Celebration along with the continuing coverage of the world as we see it. And most of all, from all of us here at Roomofzen, Thank you.
