What interests/activities should we namestorm about next?

I kicked things off on March 6, 2006. My first posts were name-of-the-day posts — horrible, poorly written name-of-the-day posts. Thankfully, most are gone now. Happily deleted. (The earliest I’ve kept is a July ’06 entry on Qiana.)

Because it’s a special day, I’d like to take a moment to thank a few people:

• Thank you to C in DC, Bridgett, Wendy, Patricia, Julie, Angela, CN Heidelberg, Cathy, Abby, Jamie, Nancy F., Karen, Bess, Mookie, Alice, Tracy, Dearest, and everyone else who reads and comments regularly. You guys rock.
• Thank you to Ian Stewart, Srini G, Azeem Azeez, and every other web designer who creates WordPress themes and puts them out there for free. I’m currently using Ian Stewart’s Thematic, but I have also used (and would highly recommend) Azeem Azeez’s White as Milk and Srini G’s Fluid Blue and F2. (And, of course, thank you to the folks who came up with WordPress in the first place.)

Have a great weekend, everyone!

P.S. If you’re looking for good name-of-the-day posts, check out Abby’s at Appellation Mountain.
