For me, 2009 went way too quick. Overall, it was also a largely disappointing year on many fronts. Some things that contributed to this I can and have gone into on this blog, others I couldn't and hadn't.

Anywho, here's the highlights of the year in blog entries:

January

- Half a Decade of Blogging & Rethinking the Whole Thing: 5 year birthday of this blog, and comment stats.
- DRM Walls Crumbling Down & Sickness: I think this will be a significant event in digital content distribution as history goes on.

February

- Crap Week: A highlight (or lowlight) that'll be remembered by me as a downer for this year
- Gaming the Worries Away: Goof old gaming goodness to blast the worries away.

March

- Wedding: Power Rangers Style: I don't think the picture in this entry quite became the viral internet sensation i was hoping it would.
- Internet Censorship Blacklists & IE8 Released: One of many entries about my opposition to the Aus Govt internet filtering scheme.

- Easter 2009 & Awesome Surreal Game: Always a highlight, and one of the most memorable indoor games of the year too.

July

November

- Preparing for Disappointments: MW2 on PC: A good rant on the console-isation of PC games.
- Time Travelling & L4D2: More ranting, this time again on the lack of an R18+ classification
for games.

December

- Goodbye Kleo, You Will Be Missed: A very sad time of the year for our family
- It's Time People: Join the Revolution... sort of: A call to arms on games classification in Australia.

So that's it for 2009. I'll honestly be glad to see this year gone, so here's hoping for a better 2010.
