the new year is upon us...

Well, another year ends and a new one begins, and I start another year of life (my b-day is new year's eve, in case you didn't know).  I have at least one resolution for 2012: write more substantial blog posts here.  We'll see if that materializes or not. :-)  Here's to the last year on the Mayan calendar!  The end is nigh.  hehe.
