One morning I decided that a random thought passing through my head was important enough to be posted to the web.

Now, 1,460 days and 2,957 posts later....it's the 4th birthday of Ober Dicta!

Celebrate by using the OD Desktop (made up of the rotating corner art that longtime OD Readers will recognize from the design of the original OD*.)

Meanwhile, I'm digging back through the archives and will be updating this post over the coming hours with some of my favorite links and posts, from classics worth revisiting to Net chestnuts that might be new to some of you, collected from the past four years of posts:
