No one can and no one may.

We ourselves must walk the path.

2014 in review by WordPress

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for my blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,300 times in 2014. If it were a cable car, it would take about 22 trips to carry that many people.

Conversations in gigatown

Now that gigatown is almost over, I find myself reflecting back on the mammoth effort it has been over the last year to get gigatownnsn to where it is now in the competition.

Some lighthearted moments while tweeting for #gigatownnsn, my gorgeous grandkids get in on the act!

Many interesting conversations were started in keeping with the hashtag, this one on virtual reality (VR).

Quizzes with wonderful prizes donated by local businesses.

The excitement when we started moving up the social media leaderboard! Only to be shattered when it was discovered we were being attacked by bots!

It was really cool meeting up with people I knew in real life who had joined the Twitter movement.

The final day dawned and things were getting desparate between the top towns as they went head to head.

And then the almost bitter sweet end, when it felt quite unreal to drop the hashtag.

 The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.
