How I spent 2009 – in blog posts

- Image by codeseven via Flickr
In the past eight years since I’ve been involved in blogging, podcasting, and other social media, I’ve often found it interesting to go back and see where I’ve been. This time of year is one of reflection for many of us. Google does their annual zeitgeist, and I thought it would be a good exercise for me to look back at where I’ve been in 2009. This exercise is a bookmarking point for myself as well as for others who might be interested. I’ve compiled some personally notable links from things I’ve done the past year and have included them below.
Except for the How I Got My Job posts, in many cases, I’ve abbreviated the name of the blogs from which the posts have come. Here’s your decoder ring:
