The Best (?) of The Fischbowl 2008

Like the previous two years, this is the post where I try to pull together some of the most interesting blog posts from my blog in 2008. These are not necessarily fantastic posts, but should give readers that are new to the blog a place to start to get a feel for what this blog is all about.

I posted 141 times in 2008, roughly equivalent to the 148 in 2007 and still down significantly from the 199 in 2006. This is my 538th post since beginning in September of 2005.
