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.“
