Ten years ago, I got a wild hair and decided to try to produce content for an email thread of friends each day in December leading up to Christmas. Taking a look back, some posts still feel pretty clever, some are kinda dated, and some are just embarrassing. But not so bad that they are not worth reposting for posterity. So, here they are with some typos fixed and editorial notes where a link is dead or something feels like it could use some explaining, apologizing, or victory lapping.
Christmas Spam Advent Calendar: Day 1
Originally posted Dec. 1, 2010
So, on the way back from Thanksgiving I had a dumb idea that I wanted to try out: basically try to put together a 25-day advent “calendar” of emails with links to cool xmas stuff and — hopefully — some self-generated content (words, music, art, etc.). We’ll see if I stick with it all month, but figured that this was a good way to start since it represents more initiative than I will ever have:
I will make sure to clearly indicate when something is NSFW and try to keep those emails to the weekends. I guess this is also as good a place as any to start talking about who’s around through December and if folks have NYE plans yet.
