This marks the 100th post here and in order to keep it all somewhat comprehensive, below you'll find an index of the first 100 posts, which will henceforth be linked in the sidebar over there. I know this is coming straight after another "lists" post and that's a coincidence; as a bonus at the bottom of this post, there's one I neglected to tackle on the 31st, just to balance out all this dry informational stuff. Thanks for reading, everybody.
