The torch at the left is courtesy of R Yanagi of Where Life Takes You. She's part of a peer-generated celebration of the first anniversary of AOL Journals, often abbreviated AOL-J, which started in July, 2003. I only stumbled into this magnificent time-waster this year, so to all you pioneers, hi there.
AOL Journalers are encouraged to post a torch in their journals as a virtual torch passing around the blogophere, hitting as many real-world places as possible. The torch has already hit Tucson at least once, but here it is again. There are a number of torch gifs you can use: see Nwanyiomas Journal for some of them, or come up with your own.
Other anniversary doings can be seen on many different journals. Nwanyiomas Journal has a good roundup of them, but I'd like to single out jcgeorgiapeach, who is collecting Southwestern AOL-J participants and pictures on The Peach Pages, and Mumsy, who is collecting names of folks from elsewhere on Cyberdancing, and giving everyone a chance to contribute Interactive Haiku on another of her journals.
I'm ferociously behind on my homework, so I'll wrap up this entry for now.

Thanks for using my torch! It's so neat going around and seeing where I find it. Fun way to find new journals to read. :-)

Glad to do it, B. I like your torch the best of the ones I've seen, because it's animated and torchy, and specific to the AOL-J anniversary, and not too big. Thanks for making it, and thanks for stopping by. - K
Thanks for spreading the J-Land anniversary spirit. I like Becky's torch too because of the very reasons you mentioned...and because I know the designer :)
