The end of the year is nearly upon us, and the time is ripe for a nostalgic look back over the year. In true boy-fashion, this reminiscing is reduced to a series of lists:
Events:
-
The main joy this year was the birth of my son Daniel (my mini-me) back in April. We are now a family of four.
-
Started playing with XHTML and CSS properly at the same time, I’d no idea where it’d lead…
-
Being linked to by Zeldman, Shea and everyone else kind enough. I’ve been overwhelmed by the sense of community and just plain nice folks out there.
-
Finally getting an iPod. As our American cousins would say, ‘It rocks’. It goes with me everywhere, in the car, on walks, even the loo. My life now has a soundtrack.

Stopdesign. This is the site that started to road my web standards.
I’d love to know what you’d have in your top lists…
