Merry Brinsmas (About CICC)
Yikes! As is the custom, it's time to rest and be thankful for an entire year of Brins' Considerably Interesting Curricular Compendium. It's only now that I stop and think about the name, realising that this isn't so much of a Curricular Compendium, but rather some other thing.
Is it Considerably Interesting? That's up to you to decide. Is that ok?
As a matter of fact, it isn't. At least, if that's what you think.
Nonetheless, a year of Brins? It doesn't feel like it. Let's have a pointless look at some of the more memorable moments in the CICC's (unilateral) history.
1) The birth
The site is born under the name 'Dodgemax Diary' (top bonus angle-of-incidence for anyone who can guess why it was called that). Then I stopped to think, 'wait! No! This is all wrong!! A NEW NAME IS REQUIRED!' And after several unsuccessful attempts, I destroyed the old blog and got this one.
2) Something happens
Disaster strikes! Destroy the giant sentinel!... *ahem* One day, I was minding my own business strolling along the post archive when I entered my website to discover everything had been replaced by some strange paragraph of text (a conversation? There seemed to be two people) about flowers. A hacker? But why? Luckily, I'd saved my blog code to the computer, so I just replaced it. To this day, I don't understand just what happened there.
That's it. What? No, really, that's pretty much all there is to tell. Besides, you don't care, do you? Do you? I don't. Or do I?... Yes, I suppose I do.
Of course, I'd be very happy if you did. Setting aside all this weird, messed up language, I appreciate the time that my viewers have spent coming to my simple-minded blog. The (unique) visitor count is nearing 500!
I've learned a few things over the year, so let's go! To future! With Brins!
Footnote: Oh, and by the way, yes - I did make up the word 'unilateral'. Why? Because BIG VOCABULARY EQUALS FUN!

Brins would appreciate it if you didn't swear in your comments
