2006 in Review

Posted Updated
Note: This article was published while I was in my early 20s. I was much younger and dumber. Please don't hold it against me. One of the perils of having a 20+ year old website!

This post I have been thinking about for a couple of days now, and I am not sure what to say. 2006 was a pretty good year for me. JLC Web Design had a benchmark year, doing pretty well client wise. I’ve picked up a few new skills, like programming in AJAX and C. I’ve taken more pictures and got a litany of new toys, including a new laptop, camera, mp3 player, and of course, my Treo 650.

I also started a couple of series on this site that I hope to continue. The first one is The Business, where I give some insight on running my business, JLC Web Design. I also started a series on productivity and staying organized.

Coming in 2007: a new design to the blog, and hopefully a whole new project. All in all, it was a pretty good year. I’ve learned a lot, and hope ’07 is just as good! Later!

  • Are Creators Free Riders? Plus, Building Your Mailing List With and Without WordPress

    Are creators (and anyone who doesn’t contribute to WordPress) free riders? I look at that question and wonder why there’s such hostility towards non-contributors, even though they are essential in the march towards that mother of all vanity metrics: 50% market share. Plus, A bit of news about an upcoming series on this show, and a deep cut from an old podcast I used to host about why you need to build your mailing list.
