Quick roundup

Keanu Reeves knows about the "Sad Keanu" meme — a New York Magazine reporter hunted him down and told him about all the pictures you shopped. The response? "Whoa." (paraphrased) ... Also, congratulations to redditor rockon4life45 for his mention at the top of the page. You're nobody until a major magazine misspells your username.


Chrome users: Have you seen the ".gz" problem in the past few days? We're crossing our fingers and hoping we've fixed it.


Since the last update, we've received postcards from Belgium, Denmark, Scotland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Ukraine, Vietnam, and Wales! If your country isn't on the map below, send us a postcard and we'll give it prime placement on the wall of Reddit HQ.


There's just about a week left until the rallies in Washington, DC. The entire extended reddit team is going to be there along with a couple hundred thousand of our favorite users. Don't forget to wear a reddit shirt (buy one here) in exchange for a special trophy. If there's absolutely positively no way you can be there (cough lame cough), there are a few satellite rallies you can google for, including a particularly big one right here in reddit's figurative backyard.



Speaking of the rally, we're within $65,000 of scoring an interview with Stephen Colbert. To see how close we are to the $500,000 goal, or to make a donation yourself, visit donorschoose.org/truthiness. You can help even if you don't have money to spare: It's an interesting kind of charity that's trying something new. You know, the kind of thing you might:
  • mention on your blog
  • tweet about
  • bring up at the dinner table...
