Pick a date in December and give me a topic about which you'd like to see me write that day. As people give me their date and topic, I'll add them to the schedule below. I've never seen this meme before, but it looks kind of amazing. I'm trying to keep blogging, and this, I believe, will be a great motivator on the continuity front.
