Seven links

Wed Jul 21, 2010 18:36 EST (UTC -5)

I don't usually participate in these memes, but I thought I'd take the 7 Link Challenge (thanks, Kirsten). These answers aren't necessarily authoritative since I've written over a thousand posts and can't be bothered to go back and look at all of them except in special circumstances.

  1. Your first post: The World of Stuff Opens, April 6, 2003.
  2. A post you enjoyed writing the most: [sic]. You could say I started writing this one in junior high, when I would keep track of my teachers' many slips of the tongue. In the post, I listed some of my favorites.
  3. A post which had a great discussion: Tough one. We usually don't have those around here. The discussion on Brain Damage went on for a while, though.
  4. A post on someone else's blog that you wish you'd written: That would have to be The Ultimate "0.999… = 1" Guide over at Greatplay.net.
  5. Your most helpful post: My Sony DSC-H55 Digital Camera Review seems to have helped a fair number of people so far.
  6. A post with a title that you are proud of: Man, what post title am I not proud of? Half the time they're clever as hell. Sometimes I think of them ages in advance. I was going through some old titles, and this one made me chuckle: A Turtle (And Also the Meaning of Life).
  7. A post you wish more people had read: Any post with no comments. Seriously, I think if my every post generated a huge discussion, it would compel me to write more often. Not that I don't write a lot, but I used to write more often than I do now. One post I like that seemed to go under everyone's radar was By the Way... It brings back a lot of memories for me.

I guess this post should be called "Nine Links" because here are TWO MORE LINKS!!

Here are some Useless Fliers. (Via waxy.org)

Here's a pretty extensive article about the guy Nintendo named Mario after.

Did you enjoy doing this as much as I did? I found it a great way to go over some of my older posts, and for others I know who are participating, a great way to go back and read some of their older stuff. Also, it got me thinking about writing more.

Yeah, it was pretty entertaining. I lost some of the enjoyment when I prevented myself from picking too many posts from around the same time. I don't want people to think I've peaked or anything!

For the record, my all-around favorite post is "The Old Country."
