How is it nearly 2011?! These past 12 months just seemed to fly by! Now, with year’s end upon us, it’s time for a Best and Worst post. (Here’s last year’s entry for reference.) As usual, this hinges only on things I actually experienced. Any oversights are accidental, and this is just meant to be fun. (It’s not like me dubbing something great or terrible has any societal impact!)
