2009 was a light year for blogging, with Twitter and Hacker News absorbing most of my output. Highlights included predicting Twitter's tagline change, writing a flawed but decent short story, and posts on journalism's death, immigration, the App Store, and Avatar.

2008 was dominated by Obama's election and the fight against Prop 8, with some tech commentary on Chrome, Android, Twitter, and the future of the web mixed in. Also: the global financial system collapsed, Sarah Palin imploded, and HTTP conversation codes became a surprise hit.

A big year: moved from London to San Francisco, got an iPhone, relaunched the site after 7 years, worked too hard, and blogged less than I'd like. More life updates than deep thinking, but the foundations are in place for a better 2008.

A year in review: accidental Google fame via Orlando Bloom, skin allergies, dental hell, antibiotic depression, Ukraine, being made redundant the day after praising my job, and relocating to San Francisco. Also Snakes on a Plane was pretty good. Archives finally fixed too.

256 posts, two bombings, two vacations, one dream job at Yahoo, and a memory so bad I had to read my own blog to remember any of it. Net result: a pretty good year.

2004 in quizmeme format: I rediscovered hard work, got an iPod, started a job I actually like, and remained broke despite secret long-term investments. Bush got re-elected, Kerry didn't win, and I had almost no sex. Much happier than last year, slightly thinner.
