What You Were Reading in 2011: My Top 10 (and then some...)
First of all, a thank you.
You geeks are what keep me writing. I love having a little place to nerd out and I appreciate you so much for visiting (and a special fist pump to the 5 of you those of you who come back again and again).
Top Posts of 2011
So it wouldn't be a new year without a look back, right? Here's the obligatory bandwagon retrospective post a look back on my most popular posts last year.
- PSA: Only you can stop Comic Sans abuses
The biggest day for the blog this year was a surprise to me. Turns out that Google played a little April Fool's joke on the world: If you searched "Comic Sans" on April 1st, your search page was suddenly reformatted in Comic Sans. (It was a great prank) And it also turned out that a comic I posted on my site was the #2 result in Google Images for that search.
Here's how the rest of the posts lined up: - Bunny Suicides: Why The Cadbury Eggs Are Offing Themselves
