1000 Awesome Things
Have you heard of the amusing blog out of Toronto?
1000 Awesome Things is just a time-ticking countdown of 1000 awesome things. Launched a few months ago and updated every weekday.
Here’s a sample post:
#770 Grabbing the cereal bowl with both hands and slurping up all the sugary milk
When the cereal’s done but that shiny, off-white milk puddle remains, it’s time to drop the spoon, grab the bowl, and tilt back like there’s no tomorrow. It’s espresso for kids, it’s breakfast dessert, and it’s completely and totally
