Birthday Combo

I’ve now been blogging here for a year.  I had intended to come up with something cool for an anniversary post, like picking out my top 10 favorite posts, or coming up with a bunch of statistics about hits and how many words are on here, and that sort of thing.  However, I did some traveling this weekend (to the tune of 1,500 miles or so over the weekend and today), so I’m a bit pooped, and I’m going to keep it short.

The above is my attempt at a birthday cake for my blog.  I was going to take the usual route and use whatever came up first on a free image search for birthday cake, but I didn’t like any of them.  As I’ve been out of town, haven’t gone grocery shopping for a while, and, really people, it’s a blog, I wasn’t going to make a real cake.  Looking though the cupboards, I did pick up some Combos on the trip.  I like Combo’s, great traveling food.  So, I made my blog a Birthday Combo.  Which I’m pretty sure it will be okay with, as, from what I can tell at least, it don’t have a mouth.

Perhaps it’s good I don’t have children yet.

Also good it’s only one year old, because I’m not sure how I’d add another candle without lighting the piece of paper it was sitting on ablaze.  Guess I’ll have to plan ahead a little more next year.

So, in leu of a more lengthy post, let’s get you people in here.  I know at least a few of you read semi-regularly.  What do you like?  What are you sick of?  What’s your favorite post?  Help me help you.  (Dear lord I need out of consulting.)  Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Things you’d like to see less of here?  More?  A little to the left and faster?
