4 years of blogging

I started this blog exactly 4 years ago, on April 12, 2008. Here are my top 10 posts from the past year:

1.  Live-blogging most of the Republican presidential primary debates: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14

2. Do you give to charity to help people or for other reasons?

3. Is throwing a pie in the face of an unsuspecting victim ever a good idea?

4. If Mitt Romney doesn't "know" global warming is mostly caused by humans, is he "against science"?

5. Is it effective to argue that homosexuality "isn't a choice"?

6. The fundamental difference in how liberals and conservatives think of themselves

7. Is the death penalty "racist"?

8. 2 surprising pay gaps

9. Something is starting to creep me out about advertising in general, and Apple's advertising in particular.

10. How much of a problem is it that you don't have enough time in your whole life to become "reasonably well-read"?

Hey! I missed this yesterday. See what happens when you don't update every day? Your own mother fails to check in.

Sorry!

And congratulations.

Lots of cool stuff on that list... and elsewhere.
