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 wave hits while I stand there, laughing while throwing my hands in the air!)
Sorry for the crappy colouring – a combination of using bad technology from 10 years ago and having said scanning done at Wal-Mart on the cheap. I gotta find our originals to re-scan them someday!
Today, Reddit had an official blog post about their “Gold” program where you can either buy an annual membership or “gild” someone with gold for one-off comments and now posts. Gold members (like myself) get added benefits on the site including the ability to save comments and as part of their blog post, they listed the Top 10 Most Saved Comments by Gold Members:
So to commemorate saving comments becoming available to all, here’s the current top 10 comments saved the most number of times by gold users:
I like being among the people who come to my branch for English language classes, the retirees who sit and read the newspaper, the rowdy kids who are killing time before they go home, and moms of young children reading their tots Ezra Jack Keats. My library is rarely quiet. I like it that way. It crackles with life.
I like the way my library crackles with life too! 😉
I sometimes think the only reason we have kids is to teach them cute tricks.
Sasha has a few – when you say “Are you cute?”, she’ll tilt her head at 90 degrees (usually), if you ask how big she is, she’ll throw both arms up over her head (usually), she can wave when prompted (usually) and now this one which is the best of them all…
I say it’s inspired by Gene Simmons of KISS but it’s probably more reminiscent of Miley Cyrus (even though lately, Sasha’s definitely been a “rock and roll all nite” type!)…
(And just for my blog readers, another version that hasn’t made the rounds on Facebook…)
…now encompasses all kinds of themed-exchanges including snacks, comics, mugs and of course, Arbitrary Day.
I’ve participated in a couple of Christmas ones and always enjoyed the process (although this year I ran out of time and ended up just using the easy-out of an online order via the RedditGifts store instead of sending something more creative. But that tends to be the rule rather than the exception – during both exchanges I participated in, my gifts were books. Not unexpected given my job and interests but not exactly a handmade GPS hunt to find a secretly hidden gift either.)
Anyhow, Reddit has just announced another gift exchange to mark the milestone of their 100th exchange. If you’ve never participated before, why not give it a shot?
I haven’t installed or even tried it yet. But I came across a Chrome plug-in called Dewey which is meant to assist with bookmark management and, based simply on the name alone, decided to post about it! 😉
