Getting to Know You: Revisited
Oct 08 '08
The Bottom Line As expected, things have changed a lot. Let's re-do this again in another 4 years!
Wow, how much things change... I was reading over that little write-off/meme (pretty much the last thing I'd written here in 4 years, until very recently anyway)... and it made me laugh, just realizing how much things (and I!) have changed!
So just for fun (my own, anyway), I'm going to re-do it:
