The 2005 Year in Graphs is being held up due to my broken laptop. We have never released it on time, so this should not shock anyone. This year I get to blame it on Apple.. Which is so much better than just saying "my code is broken" or "this database is insane", which is usually (truthfully) the case. I should be back to those default explanations in about a week, depending on how fast Apple support repairs my machine. At worst, when I'm no longer traveling I'll be able to get it done on my backup machine.

I'm looking forward to seeing it myself. It was an interesting year. Interesting in the "may you live in interesting times" kinda way. I hope that comes through in the end result.

2005 was a crappy year. I am very happy that it is now 2006. The first half of the uh-oh's is over. Is this the point where the decade starts to turn around? I know things don't necessarly work that way, but hope and delusion are closely related.
