I’m currently learning Ajax, and I finally re-wrote my calendar in it so now you can look ahead to see what’s coming up in the next few months (or years… although I don’t plan to update it that far in advance) or you can look back at previous events. Let me know if you find any bugs with it, or how you like it. It is a little slow at first right now. I will be fixing that, as well as a few other back-end things that won’t be noticeable.
It’s the first Monday of the first full week of the year. I just hope I’m doing something I love by the end of the year. Maybe that will be my new year’s resolution.
I started the year out on a good note. Kathy and I went down to Newnan Saturday and played Music trivia (that “good note” line wasn’t an intended pun) at one of my old favorite local pizza places with Brent, Alexis, Eric, and Kelly. We got first place of course, as well as a $40 gift card.
Here is my list of the Best Albums of 2007. It’s the first time I’ve done a “Best ____ of ____” list, and it wasn’t as easy as I thought it’d be. I thought of it today… I whittled the list down today…. These are the albums I could think of today:

Bright Eyes – Cassadaga
Tullycraft – Every Scene Needs a Center
Au Revoir Simone – Bird of Music
New Pornagraphers – Challengers

I don’t know how I hadn’t yet heard about this, but much to my surprise, I tuned in to see Conan come back on the air and was greeted by, what is in my opinion, a really nice beard.
Upon looking for a good pic of it, I also found David Letterman’s… His didn’t fare so well.
