Welcome to the New Celebrating Sagan
Thanks for visiting the new Celebrating Sagan.
Take a minute to look around. You’ll notice that a lot of things remain the same, but you’ll also notice some new elements. It should now be easier to find content, comment and submit your own memories of Dr. Sagan.
You’re feedback is most appreciated as we move forward.
Thanks,
Bryan

A Call for Memories
Three years ago, Celebrating Sagan launched to coincide with the ten year anniversary of Carl Sagan’s death. The purpose of the site is to celebrate the life and work of Dr. Carl Sagan by sharing how the man’s work and vision impacted all of us.
As we near the 13th anniversary, I’m remind that door is still open, and that we are still accepting submissions.
It has been a big year for Carl — from Twitter to t-shirts to the Symphony of Science — and the good doctor’s work continues to reach new people every day.
Please send your memories and tributes to memories [at] celebratingsagan.com.
Thank you.

Help Celebrating Sagan Grow
A lot has changed since David and I started Celebrating Sagan in December of 2006. And while we’ve both moved on to other projects and different things, I’ve never been happy with how we left website. I especially always felt that it could and should be more.
Thanks to the help of Joel the site has been slowly coasting through the years accumulating a few a posts and a few comments here and there. Getting by but not really making any progress.
I’ve decided that with the 75th anniversary of Sagan’s birth looming on the horizon, now might be a great time to reach out to the Celebrating Sagan community and see if we can elevate the site into a place where we — in addition to celebrating the life of Carl Sagan through our memories — celebrate the good doctor through new creative works, interpretations of his writings, or updates on his ideas. More than just a slow cascade of post cards, I believe that this can become a living and breathing testament to one man’s passion and enthusiasm for life.
I know that time and resources are scarce for most… myself included. That is why I created this short survey. Please take a moment to provide some feedback. Your ideas help inform how Celebrating Sagan grows in coming years.
Thank you.
Bryan.

Thank You, After 100.
David and I originally planned to collaborate on an article or two, perhaps a short audio documentary, to celebrate the life and impact of Carl Sagan. We hoped that we could shop our work around and at best get it published. Needless to say, like so many things, the project fell to the wayside.
As today’s anniversary approached we began posting Sagan content to our personal blogs. That put us in the mood, and before we knew we launched Celebrating Sagan.
After 8 days and 100 posts we are in awe of the support and attention the community has given this project.
It is incredible to live in a time where it is possible to create a living memorial to honor someone. Fortunate for us Dr. Sagan was not just anyone. And because the good Doctor meant so much to so many people Celebrating Sagan took off, and here we are, creating a memorial as a community.
Thank you all for your work.
