…goes to Karen, who braved the occasionally perplexing labyrinth of PayPal to get my new year off to a good start. Thanks for the tip and the persistence, Karen.

Thanks to everyone who shared their feedback on product ideas a few days ago. Based on your comments and an assessment of what I can reasonably do, I’ve decided to look into creating a 12-month wall calendar and a book, which would share the same contents (the book might get extra material, space permitting). I may also create a t-shirt and/or a coffee mug. I’ll keep you posted on how it’s coming along.

If I don’t get as many posts as usual up today, its because I’m watching the Rose Parade live stream while listening to the annual Strauss New Years Day concert on NPR, my little tradition.

And the final shout-outs of 2015 go to… (harp glissando) Amy, Deb and Ginette! Thank you and happy new year to all!

Everyone’s generosity has put me in a giving mood as well, so I have made donations to the projects that aid my quest to bring you Teh Qte: The WordPress Foundation, for the software platform used to build this site; Wikipedia, for giving me the facts I need on those rare occasions when I’m not making things up; and most important, Creative Commons, for the licensing framework that lets me use many of the photos you see on the site.
