Sunday, December 31st, 2006

This has been a pretty eventful year for my family and me. It has also been the first full year in which I have blogged more or less regularly, writing a total of 56 posts. This makes it a lot easier to look back and remember the highlights of the past 12 months.

However, I just watched this video preview of Scrybe, a new kind of online organiser and wholy smokes, I am pretty impressed.
