2009 - A good year...

2009 draws to a close, and it just struck me what a phenomenal year it has been.

This year I:

• Traveled through Morocco
• Visited Paris
• Got engaged!
• Drove across the USA, from New York to California, via Nashville, New Orleans, Austin and Roswell
• Moved to San Francisco
• Helped AKQA and Fiat win loads of awards for eco:Drive
• Hung out with a supermodel, and got paid for it.
• Got interviewed by Wired Magazine, along with a cool photo shoot.
• Joined a great team at AKQA SF, and helped make it even greater
• Released FBConnectAuth, a tiny open source component for ASP.NET that helps with Facebook Connect authentication.
• Met someone who was actually using FBConnectAuth.
• Got to live in a great house in SF, in an awesome neighborhood.
• Learnt to speak American.
• Got to learn Groovy and Grails
• Worked (and still working) on a massive (and still super-secret) grails project
• Earned a new nickname ("Piping Hot" - for my terrible Halo skills)
• Made new friends with funny accents.

I have a lot to be thankful for.

I hope you all (that's you mum) have a wonderful 2010!

Happy Holidays (see, check out my American skills)
