T.V. Talk Show Host Day onOctober 23 is celebrated as a tribute to the king of late-night television, Johnny Carson. America’s love for talk shows goes back to the 1950s. Generations come and go, hosts change, but the conversation keeps flowing. A charming host, interviewing an array of A-list celebrities, and a home delivery of some scalding-hot gossip is a package made in heaven — and today is the day we celebrate it all.
INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY
INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY, October 22 and June 28, is a holiday that needs two days on the calendar to be given its due. Software developer Derek Arnold created the original day to poke fun at “typographical conventions.” But it became the day we provoke Internet friends and colleagues and raise awareness that writing in all caps is not proper etiquette. Arnold added the second day in honor of boardwalk-bred Billy Mays, the “As Seen on TV” pitchman, who worked with his volume up. So push the Caps Lock key down and give somebody a shout out.
National Color Day
National Color Day on October 22 gives you a chance to stop and reflect on the relationship we share with the colors that surround us and the innumerable ways in which they impact us. How long has it been since you stopped by a garden to admire a yellow sunflower, or gazed at the deep blue sky? We invite you to celebrate the power of colors today!
