Thanks for mentioning me in your "honor roll," Chris. 2006 was bigger and brighter than I ever imagined, and here's hoping 2007 is even better.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Chris! It's great getting to know you too. Here's to an exciting 2007! :)

your post proves that you are what your business card says you are: community developer. You are able to identify people in community 0.0 and 2.0 with equal ease (and equal apologies) who now know each other in 0.0 and 2.0 because of you. People who can relate independent of you and yet really like you. People who have business and personal, congitie and emotional (and yes, spiritual) connections.
You've done well and done good and...no wonder you are a bit melancholy.
Merry Christmas.

Chris- you are my new media mentor, simply put. Always there with some good advice and willing to bring me back to basics when needed. Thank YOU for everything this past year-Pod Camp and all the people I met there have changed my life and how I look at things. I feel very lucky to know you, and the energy is easily spent on things I care about- There's nothing better than feeling like all cylinders are firing on projects and you are making headway. And I know 2007 will be even more exciting than 2006. You've got so much to be proud of this past year, I hope you will get some time to be able to appreciate what wonderful things you have done for so many people. The passion and caring you have is genuine, and felt by anyone who has been fortunate enough to shake your hand.

Thanks Chris.

MMOTV?

That gets 76 hits on Google. I think y ou've got a good acronym there, even though I hate acronyms.

That the pre-VON media day, right? Is there some where to read about that yet? Does it have an upcoming page?

Sure has been a crazy year and 2007 is only going to get more insane in a very cool way indeed!

Just stay sane in all your travels. Don't forget about good old Boston. :) I know you won't.

See you soon.

I'd like to thank all these people as well.
I don't actually interact with most of you directly but still you're part of my life.

The reason I support Chris so fully is because I know the people who are part of his passion are equally passionate about thier own/ each others work.

So thanks for having his back. I'm a very loyal soul and it's good to know that this community has loyalty in it's blood.

I don't think anyone sweats the lack of personal blogging too much, we all know how busy you are running around and setting the world on fire :)

Heck, all I did was go out and get myself a new job and I've barely blogged or podcasted since I got there! I've got to work on that :)

I certainly echo what Kat said. Thanks to everyone mentioned here and all the other folks in this community. Finding so many incredible like-minded and creative folks in the past 2 years has changed my life, and given me new hope for what we can all do together!

Dang it--

I missed Jon Glassett, my old high school friend rewritten as the new media musician to beat. (Go to http://angrysumo.com)

I missed Andy and Victoria and Will and all the Pittsburgh folks.

I'm sure I missed you. I'm having trouble remembering.

Please tell Kat we all really appreciate her as well. Balancing work and life can really be hard, and having someone who loves you and loves seeing you do what you love is a really special thing. It means still understanding even when you want to throw a toaster at your spouse- trust me on this one. I'm married to an OB-GYN and this means understanding that babies will be born when they are good and ready, not one minute before. Missed kid events. Last minute change in plans. Flexibility becomes the name of the game, and when Matt promises "It'll get better after x,y,z" I know that he means it, but I also know that I need to accept that this is just part of how we live right now. So thank you, Kat, for keeping Chris together, for lending him to us from time to time, and for the laughter of those gorgeous kiddos. You are fanatastic, and I hope we get to meet in 2007!

Thanks for the nods Chris. I take great pleasure in our family get togethers. For me, it is where community begins. Thank you for helping me to see where community can go.
My love and gratitude to you, Kat, V and H.
Have a wonderful new year! It's hard to imagine one better than '06 for you, then again, knowing you, it's not really so hard.
