Happy 2008!

Hey that's me in the picture! Well, my arm, anyway. I took Gary Vaynerchuk up on his offer for a free Vayniac wristband earlier in the year (free shipping, too - how could I resist?) and kept my part of the bargain by uploading a picture of me wearing it. On his New Year's Eve show, most of the video was devoted to a montage of the pictures he had received. Lo and behold, mine was included. So that's my 5 seconds of fame. Just take my word for it, that's my arm there.

(Actually, that's me with Gary Vee back in New Jersey; I'm pointing at his desk, telling him to listen to Mott and get off the couch to go do his daily taping.. haha)

I know, I don't have very hairy forearms.

Actually the purpose of this post isn't to show off my heavily-muscled arm, it's to wish everyone a 2008 that satisfies way beyond any previous year! May it be a great one for you all.

I would also like to give a big thank you to my Twitter buddies (you can check them out on the right side of the page). Even though I don't post there with much frequency, I enjoy keeping up with them by reading their brief updates. Although I haven't met any in person (I hope to do so one of these days, however), getting to know them online in 2007 made a huge, positive difference for me. I am happy to be a part of their community and look forward to becoming more involved in 2008.

WineHiker has a New Year's post along those lines, which you can read by clicking here.

So Happy 2008 everyone!
