Thursday thankfulness: spam

Darcsfalcon has started a little feature on her blog called Thursday Thankfulness, and I thought I’d jump on board for at least today. It would be nice if it spread throughout the blogisphere. Maybe I’ll make a little header graphic for Thursday Thankfulness posts for fun.
So today I’m thankful for Akismet, which controls my spam [...]

Walking with kindergartners is like herding cats
