Is it me, or is September quite a dull month? I don’t know, but I keep seeing attempts to liven things up by creating national and international days to celebrate everything under the sun. In the last few weeks, residents of the UK and/or the US have witnessed (or been blissfully unaware of) National Grandparents’ Day, National Wife Appreciation Day National Play-Doh Day, and National Respect for Shopworkers Day. And that’s only the beginning.
Online, this week saw the return of Talk Like A Pirate Day, celebrated by everyone from Matt Cutts to Linus Torvalds.
Today, OneWebDay, we’re supposed to celebrate the world wide web by reflecting on how the web has changed our life and uploading photos to WebShots and Flickr.
I don’t know. I think I’m with Green Day on this one. Wake me up when September ends.
For anyone else who’s feeling like they’ve had enough and just wants the weekend to start, I can recommend WordSpy. Learn lots of entertaining new words such as “Christmas creep” and “cot potato”, while you wait for October to begin!
