best of, 2012
Yeah, I should’ve gotten to this one earlier. Told you I’d be mostly away from the computer. Between a short bout with the flu my familial and social circles are kicking around, plus a little musical performance, some gaming and a pretty great New Years’ party, I haven’t had the time.
Anyway – Like I usually do, I went back and picked a couple of the pieces that I or others have liked over the course of the year, and figured might be worth reading again, if you were so inclined. Some of these are personally significant, others less so, but their a pretty good sampling of the original work here this year; a year when life got in the way a lot and there was actually a lot less original work than there’s been recently.
