In response to the many 2007-list-posts I’ve read, I wanted to do my own. This is going to be a completely self-indulgent list of accomplishments of sorts. It was an eventful year to be sure. So, here it goes.

In 2007, I…
Erased my pre-2007 existence on the internet
Made a new Flickr
Joined Vimeo
Got Travis
Got into good beer
Remade Existential Media
Lost Travis
Found Travis / Gave Travis to my parents
Had the best summer of my life*
Went on a long bike ride carrying beer
Made new friends
Went to Portland
Got Engaged
Lost Ultimate Blogger 3
Made the Prescott Family
Got Margot
Graduated college
Went to Portland again

That’s my basic outline of the past year. I feel pretty good about it.

I1 recently joined meta-markets. (My status so far.) At this point it is invite-only-beta(alpha)-testing, as GMail has gone before us, joining the ranks with Joost, Vimeo v. 5, etc. I have one invite left (of the allotted 3), if you want it, email me or comment or something. My source on this matter is the ever amazing Cati.2
In celebration of my recent completion of dinner:

“Your awareness,” he said. “That is a new quality in the Universe, which exists only because there are human beings. Physicists must from now on, when pondering the secrets of the Cosmos, factor in not only energy and matter and time, but something very new and beautiful, which is human awareness.”
