My blog has entered the terrible twos

My blog turned two over the weekend -- on Saturday, October 4th to be precise.  But since it was out binge drinking and barfing all over its shoes, I figured I'd wait until today to write a post.

The time has flown -- and while two years seems like no time at all, I know that it translates into something like 1,100 internet years. So I thought that this might be a good time to offer up a retrospective of posts from the past 24 months.  It's a great way for new readers to get a sense of the things that have held my interest over the past couple of years -- and a good way for long time readers to relive the glory that is me (that last bit is written with more than a hint of sarcasm, of course.)

For me, it has been interesting to look back at everything I've written here and find that -- although the specific details, companies and pet peeves may have changed -- my overall themes have remained the same.  Depending on your point of view, that either means that I'm consistent or that I've fallen into a rut.  You can decide for yourself. 

Anyway, thanks to everyone who has stuck by me, remained a reader, linked to me when I've written something noteworthy, and spread the word to their friends and colleagues.  I appreciate it.  I really, really do.

And so, without further ado, here are 24 posts from the past 24 months -- charting the course from my blog's humble beginnings to it's just as humble present.  Let me know what still resonates, what you think is a load of crap and if there are other posts you've enjoyed as well.

If I can ever find the time to put it together, I am hoping to collect these same posts in a free e-book so that I can share them with clients and colleagues that don't read my blog.  I'll let y'all know when (if) the e-book is ready to rock -- hopefully you'll have some friends you can share it with too.

Thanks!
