Year in Review, 2007

As yet another (meaningless, necessarily futile) year comes to a close—and as we once again stand in long lines so that we may purchase overpriced presents for overrated friends—I thought I might spread some requisite seasonal joy (or misery, as the case may be) through release of my third annual holiday card. Friends and family (at least those for whom I have a valid e-mail address) should have already received a message from me. For those who did not, the following is a non-inclusive list of reasons why you might not have received an e-mail, in no particular order:

• We are not actually friends;
• We have never communicated by e-mail, and as such, I did not have your address;
• The e-mail you list on Facebook is actually your e-mail address from freshman year of college, and you graduated three years ago; and/or
• The program I wrote to automagically send an individual e-mail (rather than a bcc bulk mail—see, I care about you as a person) had a bug which prevented delivery of the e-mail. (This is also the most likely reason.)

Anyway, those who are interested in the happenings of my life over the past year can view my 2007 holiday card here. Happy holidays, people!
