Happy New Year 2012 !

Picture Credit to Joshua…

Well it was a great year.  Thank you all so very much for dropping in and participating in this blog.

I think it has grown up a bit.  Some things worked and some things didn’t.

A valuable lesson learned is to leave politics out of perfusion.  I want to thank the leadership at AMSECT, Craig Volcelka, and Bill Riley for helping smooth some things out, and for being willling to give this a chance.

To the readership at AMSECT- thank you for tolerating my many posts, and there shall be no further posts heading in that general direction.  Sorry if it was so troublesome.

The upsides are the following:

  • 75,000 visits
  • 137 Countries
  • 350 + Cities
  • A few jobs were landed

I am looking forward to the next year and want this site to be a great place to visit, learn more about our profession, and see the human side of the things we do.

Below is a sample of some of the best work that came out of last year…
