2005 favorites

December 31, 2005 &bull uncategorized

At the end of each year I try to come up with a list of my favorite stuff from the past year. This is not really a “best of 2005? list, but rather a “cool stuff I experienced in 2005? list. The difference is important since some, if not most, of the items on the list were not created in 2005. However, since my life is almost always on a time-delay and I’m a bit behind the times, I’m including old stuff.

Speaking of time-delay, my folks were visiting since 12/22/2005 and I haven’t really had time to collect my thoughts, let-alone write anything. After a great visit and a really nice Christmas, my folks left today. Now I have a lot of catching up, which needs to be done in two days before I head back to work. So, look for some “time-delayed” posts in the upcoming days.

Have a great new year.
