But, since its my blogsite, its my list. And here's what gets things on this list actually on this list... being cool. Maybe its something that happened, maybe its a great movie I saw, maybe its a great book I read. Or great television, podcasts, random things or even viral videos.
Or maybe its just the dozens of cool people that made the list for one reason, a thousand reasons, or no reason. It's... well, its cool.
Some of the things on this list you may say "that's not from 2009!" but its my list--and its what I discovered in 2009, or perhaps re-discovered this past year.
Where did this list start, though?
Well, its the fifth year for the list, and its actually gotten to the point where a few people here and there have asked me about it, or if certain people, movies, things, events will make the list. I've been compiling it for the last few weeks, sending myself text messages to remind myself of certain things, sometimes quick code like "ROCK DVD" or "TAY SWI CD" or "DK NT" or whatever.
First, let me give you a quick recap... 2005 was the first year the blog was written, and it started there.
