It’s been 20 years since the original Towel Day, in memory of the late great Douglas Adams. In 2009 I hosted Blawg Review #213 in memory of Douglas on Towel Day. This year, I wish all you hoopy froods a happy and healthy Towel Day.

Happy Towel Day!
It’s on days like this I miss Douglas Adams as well as Ed, the editor of Blawg Review. Both taken from us before their times. Both were hoopy froods. Happy #towelday!

Blawg Review #322
CRACK… By striking my bone gavel, I call this special Blawg Review meeting of the Skull and Bones Society to order. Ever since the passing of Demosthenes in the year 322, and since the founding of our Society here at Yale in 1832, we honor eloquence. So, today, it is altogether fitting and proper that…
Blawg Review #295
Welcome to a special “Cyberlaw” edition of the weekly carnival of legal blogging, Blawg Review! I am honored to host, especially since today, January 24, 2011, is a special day.

Blawg Review #256
Arrakis. Dune. Desert planet… Welcome to Blawg Review #256! In 1965, the best selling science fiction book of all time, Frank Herbert’s Dune, was first published. Parts of it had been published in serial form in a magazine in 1964, but as near as I have been able to determine the first publication was in…
Oh Lord, it’s hard to be humble…
But I am! My sincere thanks and appreciation to all for voting my Blawg Review #213 as “Blawg Review of the Year.” My undying gratitude to the Sherpas and to Ed for helping make Blawg Review what it is. And, to emeritus Sherpa Colin Samuels for being Colin Samuels.

T-1 day to Towel Day edition of Blawg Review – So what’s a hoopy frood?
Tomorrow, the Blawg Review we’ve been leading up to will be published, on Towel Day. Those who have sent me pictures with their towels will be rewarded with links and praise. They are also hoopy froods, since they obviously know where their towels are. Where does that line come from? Well, here’s the line from…
