I’m certain this won’t be the case, but I’m hoping 2009 will not be all that eventful. A lot of fairly momentous things happened to me in 2008:
- I discovered a job I loved, but traded it in for a family I loved more.
- I sold a house and bought a home.
- I tried and failed at more than a few things.
- I met several dozen people who will directly or indirectly shape the rest of my life.
- I am sufficiently bored and seeking new challenges professionally, academically, maybe even spiritually.
General observations outside of personal life:
- Content may be king, but context reigns supreme
- Generally I eschew most hype, but I’ve realized that hype – ok, imperfect information – greases the gears of capitalism
- social media is imperfect information
- some things are free because that’s all they’re worth
- not all who wander are lost …
If 2008 was all about enduring, my 2009 will focus on overcoming and prospering. That means I haven’t yet decided if I’ll post here often or at all.
