I posted this picture on our third anniversary back in 2006 but see that the link to the graphic’s ended up broken during one of my blog moves. So here’s the image once again – my favourite wedding picture (well, not counting the more spontaneous one of Shea running out of the water just as a […]
Reddit has facilitated a number of gift exchanges over the years. What originally began as a user-submitted idea for a Secret Santa exchange… …now encompasses all kinds of themed-exchanges including snacks, comics, mugs and of course, Arbitrary Day.

Just looked back through my previous posts on February 6 of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013.
