TwentyTen

So another year has passed. I can’t say that I’m sad to see ’09 go for a variety of reasons. But I don’t want to dwell on the past, but look towards THE FUTURE!

Seriously though, we are finally to a year that can be said in a futuristic fashion. Saying “TwentyTen” sounds right. “Two Thousand and Nine” is so last year. And I can say I’m right on this since car companies are following suit with the 2010 model year cars. Maybe this was the one barrier we have had from finally having flying cars and futuristic clothing. I bet in 2010 we get the future that has always been promised to us!

Or maybe not, but it does not really matter now does it? I mean think about it, look at the advances in technology over the last decade. While we might not have flying cars, we do have some pretty impressive technology! It was interesting to listen to This Week in Tech Episode 228 since it really summed up my views on the decade and brought up some pretty amazing points we just don’t really think about until you look at the whole picture.

I first hinted about the business idea I had back in September. I’m happy to say I’m going forward with it and it’s one of my major projects for 2010. I’ve spent the past few months fleshing out some details and it’s looking good to announce it sometime in the first quarter of the year. Next step is getting my tax return and ’09 bonus so I can acquire a domain name, and get the LLC setup. Yes, I’m going to try and build a business properly. Since I promised a hint or two, here is one: I will be watching the Jan 26th Apple event VERY closely.

Of course that’s just one of the things I hope to make happen in 2010. More will be revealed in time!

So I think we can all agree that the 2000’s were a pretty cool decade, but how will we refer to them? I mean, it was pretty obvious with the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. I guess I’ll leave that to the experts: VH1. I can’t wait to watch “I love the 2000’s” and all the associated remixes and redoes that are inevitable. “Hey do you remember when MP3 players were huge and clunky? Do you remember the Y2K bug?” Yes, yes I do.
