2008: the year of the blog

With over 120 posts, the blog is coming into its own a little in its third year of existence. As we all get older, wiser, and more tech savvy (well, 1 out of 3 ain't bad), the blog is now more relevant than ever. However, before we move on to next year, thats take a look back at some of the highlights of the blog over the past year:
