I have too many tabs open. Most of them were things I intended to post here.
On your mark, get set, go!
I believe I am more susceptible to meme transmission from Transylvanian Dutch than from anyone else. Don’t get me wrong, he passes along plenty that I don’t bother with, but so do most people. But sometimes I get snagged and sucked in, and for whatever reason, it’s usually from one of his.
Here’s the meme (as copied from his blog):
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me. It will be about or tailored to those five lucky “victims.”
The catch? Oh, the catch is that you have to put this on your site as well, if you expect me to do something for you!
Remember, chime in, and be forced to participate in your own playground!
That’s what I’m talking about! It’s about time. Thank you, sir, for saying so. You have my full support.
I’ve always liked the Babylon 5 intro, where Sheridan (I think it’s Sheridan, anyway) says “It was the year of fire… the year of destruction… the year we took back what was ours. It was the year of rebirth… the year of great sadness… the year of pain… and the year of joy. It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the year everything changed. The year is 2261. The place: Babylon 5.” Pretty epic, no?
Well I’m not really living an epic here, but I’m looking for a brief way to sum up 2008, so I’m going to steal that format, as a reference for what happened, which I’ll be dropping here for the future.
It was the year:
All in all, a pretty good year.
