As we’re about to ring in the new year I’d like to mark a place in my little time capsule that I call my blog and say so long 2006. You’ve been a bitch of a year but probably one of those that I’ll look back on as being one of the most defining years of my life. Its been a rough ride, but strangely I don’t regret one bit of it. The tough part has been keeping all these balls in the air without making too much of a mess of my life, and you know what, looking back I’ve done a pretty awesome job! Way to go me!
As rough as its been I can also look back to a lot of major achievements this year. Let’s flashback on some of the highlights:
1) Managed to keep my family together (long story)
2) Started a new company with a true Friend and Mentor
3) Made thought into reality ala DictaBrain
4) Said farewell to my friends at Tucows for the last time.
5) Started working with some wacky Italians
6) With a great group of people I helped put on a cool BarCamp Event and made some great new friends
7) DemoCamp (huge respect to everyone involved participants and organizers alike
Got a taste of being a New Yorker on several occasions (this’ll carry through 2007 as well)
9) Helped a good friend and mentor start his way to becoming a blogger (not the same dude as #2)
10) Mech, SES NYC, Domain Round Table, TechCrunch NYC and NO ICANN MEETINGS in 2006!
There you have it the good the bad and the ugly
Happy New Year everyone! All the best in 2007!

Well said.
2006 = One long therapy session, tough but good.
2007 = Did I learn anything, or does my head just look smaller?
I’m betting on 2007 being a breakthrough year. Here’s to it!

Great list James. The past year has been interesting and has begun a new for most of us. Learning is always refreshing and challenging, 2007 will be a spectacular year for all, especially for those of us that have taken on a brand new challenge and created risk vs reward scenario, it’s going to be fun!!!!!
