I made it to 100!

Wow!  When I started this blogging journey, my goal was to simply blog for 2 weeks, because that's honestly how long I thought I would keep it up.  But here I am, Post 100, and I've done pretty well keeping up with a post a day.  In honor of post #100, I went through my collection of daily joyrides to see which kernels of knowledge from the past 100 days are worth passing on.  These are the ones I liked (in no particular order); check out How to Get a Life that Doesn't Suck to sign up for your own.
