An awesome online animated documentary about the history of the internet. It was brilliantly done with a whole textbook of information crammed into a nice 7 min video. Enough nerdy information to make yourself the life of the party tonight.

Question: What do you guys think of Twitter?

Time to start fresh. I have high expectations for myself this year and to create my own pressure I thought I would blog about my 2009 goal list.

• Master Web Design
• Develop a web presense
• Blog:
  • Deliver Quality Content
  • Monetize my blog
  • Average 2 posts per week
• Attend an SEO/Web Conference
• Design the Guv’s Place website (my brother’s bar)
• Trips:
  • New York City
  • Washington D.C. – I love history!
• Redesign my girlfriend’s website
• Publish my first ebook (stay tuned…)
• Run another marathon
• Become a morning person
• Get organized.

That’s all I have. It will be fun to revisit this list 1 year from now and see what I have accomplished.

What are your 2009 goals/resolutions?
