Hi 5 to the Face: Looking Closer’s Diary of Gratitude for Links, Ideas, and More

Welcome to Looking Closer’s “Hi 5 to the Face,” a unique expression of admiration and gratitude to all kinds of people on all kinds of websites.

In these posts (archived below), I’ll keep a running diary of gratitude, with a little help from an army of imaginary friends.

Bookmark this page to keep up with recent entries.

Check it regularly. You’ll find things that must be seen to be believed.

And someday, you just might get a Hi 5 to the Face yourself!

Be warned, though: Occasionally this “diary” will include a “Gnash of the Teeth,” a “Furrow of the Brow,” or a “Stare of Incredulity” instead of the much-coveted Hi 5 to the Face.
