Fun Stuff Nick Holmes posts cute and funny things. I’ve always wondered exactly how potholes are formed. Now I know. Need some cool wrapping paper? Try rapping paper.

By the time you read this post, I will have been blogging (more or less) continuously on davidgagne.net for 3300 days. I somehow managed to miss my nine year anniversary two weeks ago, so I thought I should say something about my 3300th day.

Once you’ve been blogging for a few years, you’re going to realize that your archives page is huge. For the casual one-post-each-week blogger, it might be okay to display the titles or even excerpts of posts on your archives page. But what about you and your twenty-posts-per-day blogging habit?
