Finally! Markiz Sorbet Is Worthy of Citizen of the Day

Well, it is amazing that this avatar, Markiz Sorbet, was overlooked as a Plaidmania Citizen of the Day. When the board of Plaidmania contacted Ms. Sorbet, she was not at all surprised. In fact, Ms. Markiz exhibited a 'It's about time' attitude to being named Citizen of the Day. So, without further comment, please just congratulate this avatar.

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!

I would like to take this opportunity to wish all the friends of Plaidmania and my friends out there in the metaverse a very Happy Thanksgiving. Though you may not celebrate the holiday, (probably because you are unAmerican), I would also like to thank my friends from the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Belgium, the Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, and elsewhere. You are all my plaid-monsters!

Quinby Hancroft: Citizen of the Day

A special congratulations goes out to a very special avatar on her rez day, Quinby Hancroft! So much better than the rest! (well at least on this day).

Remember, Plaidmania only awards this honor to only a handful of avatars, human beings, saints, and objects (see Solo Cup). It is such an extraordinary honor. Many people awarded this honor go on to bigger and better things.

How To Bring Pie To The Desktop

I had this little problem the other day. I wanted to organize my desktop. I use my icons, but I wanted to organize them more practically, so with help from my plaidmania advisers and an avatar named Igles, I created the following.

Another Halloween Totally Out of Control

DAMN! I really embarassed myself tonight!

Happy Halloween

Congratulations goes out to DestinyOne, who has become another one of Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day! This is a great accomplishment, DestinyOne has lived in Tehran for ten years, she finally was able to leave the country. She is the first Iranian to become Citizen of the Day. Remember, if you see Ms. DestinyOne, (not to be confused with DestinyTwo), tell her how proud you are of her recent accomplishment.

Reminder Maybe Lunasea Still Citizen of Year

Congratulations Ms. Maybe Lunasea, You are still the Citizen of the Year.

The Citizen of the Day Is Solar Quicksand

This is going to be a quickie, because her name is Solar Quicksand, but let me just congratulate Plaidmania's newest Citizen of the Day!

AMForte Clarity: Citizen of the Day

Let's give it up for AMForte Clarity, Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day! I wrote this post yesterday and I forgot to include a link to AMForte's site. Well, I tried to insert it and it messed the whole blog post up. So, I decided not to include the usual bullshit, but I chose to still acknowledge her on this blog. So AMForte, Congratulations, once again you have made it on Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day honor roll.

Here is the link to AM Forte's webpage, amforte.com

She is a really talented SL performer (SL is Second Life of course) Great Guitar playing and Great Singing!

Myl Foxdale: Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day

Congratulations to Myl Foxdale. This Dutch sweetie has just been named Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day! This is the first time that a woman from the Netherlands was named Citizen of the Day.
Now, it should be noted that Myl does not live in a windmill. Miss Foxdale does not wear wooden shoes, and she may or may not like tulips, (which tulips were originally native to present-day Turkey.) Though, it would be interesting to know if Myl frequents the hash bars in Amsterdam; On this day, let us not be culturally insensitive to the new Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day. Once Again, Congratulations to Myl! Remember, if you see Myl out and about, tell her that you have heard the good news. (Also, ask her if she can please send some Maui Wowi to the following address:)

M Pie Francois

Bonersville, Plaidistan 31415-9314

Once again, We are so proud of you Myl!

Susybear: Plaidmania Citizen of the Day

This is long overdue, but Susybear has become the latest Plaidmania Citizen of the Day. Remember, if you see Susybear, you may congratulate her for having obtained this incredible honor.

Wild Teardrop: Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day

I was walking through the welcome area this beautiful night, when I laid eyes on this lovely who was wearing plaid. Therefore, Wild Teardrop becomes Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day. This is one of the web's highest honors. If you see Ms Wild, remember to congratulate her!

Plaidmania Formally Recognizes Filettino

The small town of Filettino has declared independence from Italy. Therefore, it is important to recognize this new principality. Though, it is sad that because of the terrible Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi having declared austerity that he would merge these small towns together. So I don this T-Shirt in support of this nascent principality.

Sir Timothy John "Tim" Berners-Lee

Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day


I would not be typing this congratulatory blog post if it hadn't been for Sir Tim Berners-Lee. After all, it is thanks to him that we have the Internet which is 20 years old. Sir Tim Berners-Lee also is a proponent of network neutrality. He has been named one of Time Magazine's 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century. On June 13, 2007 (St. Anthony's Feast Day, it just amazes me how this all connects on this blog), he received the Order of Merit, becoming one of only 24 living members entitled to hold the honour, and to use the post-nominals 'O.M.' after their name.
Now all those awards were something, but as the readers of this blog can attest, they do not even come close to being awarded Citizen of the Day. Plus, to top it all off, I found this picture of Berners-Lee wearing what else? A plaid shirt. Not only is this distinguished gentlemen an innovator, he is a man of impeccable taste. If you see Sir Berners-Lee, tell him, "Hey, I heard you are Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day! Congratulations!" Also tell him how thankful you are for the invention of the Internet.

Plaidmania's Movie of the Millenium: Source Code

After seeing the movie, the Source Code has been released on DVD, I have got to declare that this is definitely a movie that has got to be seen.
A few months ago, I wanted to see the Source Code in the theater, but for some reason or another I did not. However, after watching it on DVD, I was amazed how great of a movie it was. I expected it to be similar to the Matrix and Inception. I was surprised how it felt like Groundhog Day. I do not want to tell you what the movie is about, (there are plenty of sites that will tell you.) It's just that I, Pie Francois, highly suggest that you go and buy this movie as soon as possible.

Shrinkage

Ahh!

Just Thinking

I'm sitting in somebody's room, (Actually the Fuzzy Bee, one of the greatest places to find low-prim furniture.) Hmmm... Who should be Plaidmania's Citizen of the Day?

Natalie Hanly: Citizen of the Week

A very special congratulations goes out to Natalie Hanly, Plaidmania's Citizen of the Week. Remember if you see Natalie, congratulate on her accomplishment. Let it be known that Natalie is Citizen of the Week NOT the Year. The Plaidmania Citizen of the Year remains the honourable Maybe Lunasea.

I Hope Everyone Had a Good 4th of July
