Please comment with ONE thing you think I should do or try to do in 2008. Big or small, silly or earth-changing.

Get something yummy from Rocco's pastry shop, on Bleeker Street. I was there the other night with bensong1 and it was fabulous.

Work on a presentation to help folks think theoretically, not practically. Sometimes the answer can be revealed by a web search of the error code; more difficult to solve are the ones that can be solved by methodical thinking. If there's a problem with e-mail, you want someone who's going to methodically check:

1) Did the message leave the email program of the sender?
2) Did the message leave the sender's machine?
3) Did the message arrive at the recipient's machine?
4) Did the message arrive at the recipient's e-mail program?

If 2=yes and 3=no, is there a transient place that the message could be tracked at (routers, firewalls, etc), and if so, did it make it there?

This is a silly example, but one that's very important. Often just knowing "how things work" can help debug problems, and way too many people rely on what they have experienced before directly, instead of taking a step back and *thinking* about pathways and whether or not things make sense.

Get a dog.

Actually, with the amount of travel you (and sometimes C, right?) do, it might not be practical. And I don't know if you have allergies. But I could so see you enjoying an energetic and not too small dog.

Bake an apple pie.

From scratch, making your own crust.

Very satisfying, and damn good pie when I did it!
