Great list Mark! A fantastic year yourself to boot.
It's a good think your a graphic designer, I mean I've seen the things they've done to Jessica Alba but this is ridiculous. How on earth did you get yourself to fit into that Powerbar tank.
I know, another one of your homemade creations!?
keep up the blogging, errr miles.
Hal
