Why not set one up telling about the things you do with other people. Then, those other people can come on and change what you got wrong, or add stuff, depending on how they perceived the events. Would that work? Maybe I am misunderstanding how these wiki things specifically work…

That could work, but I doubt that many people would participate, since you’re one of the few who comment on the blog. Not to mention that there really isn’t much of interest that goes on in my life that other people would want to comment on. I don’t get out much.
Thanks for the suggestion, but the contest is still open.

It would give me an idea of what to get you for Christmas, since you never seem to “need” anything. If you want a wiki, I will get you one. Where do you buy one and how much does it cost?
