13 Days to Go!

 
It's creeping up quickly, isn't it?
 
I got to thinking the other day, wondering how long the Countdown has been going on. I know Shawn Robare and John Rozum had the reins when I first joined back in 2014 and it's passed through a few hands since then.
 
Then I remembered "Duh, the post history is right on the front page." So I went back and browsed through some of the very firsts posts from 2009 that started this whole thing off. It was fun delving into the previous Countdown posts and seeing where this all began.
 
I found this neat video posted by Jon Knutson and thought it was worth re-posting here for those (like me) that didn't see it in 2009.

You've Got Red on You

 
 
Boy do I ever! All over my face!
I accidentally figured out today that comment moderation was enabled here but with no email address set to approve them! 
After fixing that oversight, I went through and approved all your comments since 2024. 
All this time, I didn't know the nice things you folks were saying so now I'll say thank you!
