So a couple weeks ago I put together a timeline of my 2010 with plans of writing a year end blog... so now that you've forgotten about everyone else's 2010 retrospectives, here's 1 more.

Every time I write these I start out thinking, "man, I didn't really do a whole lot last year," but after looking back through photos, blogs, and tweets... I'm quite happy with last year. I traveled a lot, saw a lot, became a bit healthier, and progressed professionally. All awesome things.

So 2010 in a nutshell...

Work...
At the start of the year, I began doing some contract work at Dipity, a San Francisco based timeline tool startup. After about 5 months of contracting, I decided I really liked working with the folks at Dipity so I left Red 5 and went full time. Since then, I've been working from home and travelling to San Francisco quarterly. It's an awesome gig - I'm really happy with everything I've learned so far and am excited for the next phase of Dipity.

Travel...

• Iowa City to bring in 2010 with friends

• Lake Panorama for Jeff's Bachelor Party
• Ireland for Kari and I's 5 year anniversary
• Mount Vernon for Cornell Homecoming

Health...
I tried to think about my health a bit more in 2010. Just seeing a doctor is a big step for me... so I'm pretty happy with the steps I took toward becoming more healthy.

I got glasses (after I decided to stop wearing them 5 years prior), tended to a couple skin problems (that I've had since High School), started walking the dog with Kari, stopped sitting down while working, stopped eating out for lunch every day, and lost weight.

Shows...
Elton John, 80/35, Lollapalooza, Phoenix

Weddings
Trent and Crystal, Nick and Nicole, Robyn and Joe, Anthony and Anna, Jeff and Iulia

Other Events...
Finished my bee tattoo, Launched my first Android App, Adopted Garth Brooks, Leeperland shower, Bought Kari a new car, Tattooed my Shoulder, Featured in Juice Magazine, Holiday Dinner

So that was 2010... now onto continuing 2011.

I'm not into the whole new years resolution thing, well aside from that resolution I made to wear a lot more tie dye tighty whities (and I can honestly say that I've worn tie dye tighty whities more in 2011 than any other year of my life). So rather than make a bad resolution, I guess I'm just going to continue trying to be better at everything I do - and there is definitely room for improvement.

I'd like to continue working on becoming healthier, smarter, more efficient, better at conversation, etc.

And with all that said, I'll leave you with a timeline that I built using the software I... built.
