DC Emancipation Day and 1000th Post
Today is DC Emancipation Day, celebrated on the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s signing of the 1862 bill ending slavery in the District. I’m on a Lincoln kick lately — I just fished reading a book about him and I’m dying to take another trip out to see his monument… it’s been a while.
On another topic, this is my 1000th post on RumorsDaily. Thankfully, it’s on a slightly more auspicious topic than my 100th post or Jacob Grier’s 1000th post.
Some stats for my thousandth post? Sure! RumorsDaily has been online for nearly a year and:

- has been of no tangible benefit to me, or anyone else
Let’s do another thousand.

wow, you’ve really ramped up the posting in a rather short time.
isn’t you saying “i’m dying to see the lincoln memorial” like me saying “i’m dying to go to venice beach?” As in it’s a rather trivial thing to accomplish?

Part of the recent bump in postings has to do with a change in the way the new WordPress handles photo albums, counting them now as posts. I backdated them so the old ones didn’t appear on the main page as they were re-uploaded. You can see the albums at the Pictures link at the top, but I’m currently working on a better means of organizing them.
It’s mildly trivial to get to the Lincoln Memorial — I need time and, if I’m going to bike, enough energy to bike the four miles there and back. I’ve wanted to go for a while and haven’t gotten around to it yet. I’m running out of time.

Four miles is an astoundingly short distance on a bicycle. Get movin’, lard-o. As for time, that may be harder to find.
“the most popular operating system is Windows (80%) followed by Apple (15%) and Linux (4%)” I assume you have only about 25 viewers, including me.
You read Lincoln pretty quickly…when did you start it?

It’s 8 miles round trip. I wasn’t going to hang out there all that long.
And yes, I’m not in good shape, I don’t think that’s ever been in doubt.
It probably took me two weeks to read Lincoln.

Or how about this totally pointless collection of data:
I like the person using the 1200×1200 square screen. Where do you even get a square display?

That’s a very weird set of data.

Well done! I am in those stats somewhere :)
