Although it seems painfully like ego-whoring, I wanted to do a sort of retrospective of the past year, and gather up some of my personal favorite entries. Since a couple of people actually seem to read this drivel, I thought I'd try and solicit some "customer feedback" as well, and get an idea of what kinds of stuff you guys like to see and want more of in the future.
I try not to judge the "success" of an entry based on the comments alone; sometimes the most heavily-commented posts are on things that I feel like I sucked at trying to express, and I know personally I often don't comment on other people's entries even when I really like them, usually because I don't feel like I have anything significant to say. So here's your chance: I'm going to sell my soul for your love and approval, however fleeting.
I'm also considering editing and polishing up some of the entries, especially some of the ones where I've had the immense benefit of hindsight to reveal how stupid I sound half the time (and how stupid I am the other half).
