Congratulations to all of the Happy Mutants. It’s a significant accomplishment to keep any independent content outlet operating for this long, let alone a non-paywalled Web site devoted to the wonderful and the weird.

Happy birthday to my favorite website for showing cool/interesting/sad/real things without prattling on about it!

Happy birthday! I started reading BoingBoing in June, 2005 – a friend shared the sad news that David C. Sutherland III had passed away, and sent me this link:

Sad news, but I was amazed by your blog. And I couldn’t believe that Cory “Craphound” Doctorow was a blogger – not only did I read the original story in the original magazine, when it came out; your essay “Meta-Crap” was required reading in library school. Anyway, I’ve been one of those “long time readers, first time commenters”, because I was reading daily for about ten years before I created an account.

Here’s to another 19 years!

T S Eliot references are always appreciated.

I should have been a pair of rugged claws, scuttling across the floor of silent seas.

I still have some of the zines around somewhere that predate the website (and long predate the blog). I’m going to avoid looking at the dates on any of them for fear of feeling old…

The post title is doing that well enough already.
