Top Eleven: Bottom Eleven Of 2013

Is there really any better way to address the changing of a year than to completely fixate on everything that happened in the previous year?  Who cares what might come up in the following 31,536,000 seconds when we can stare back nostalgically like someone unaware of an oncoming bus heading towards them.

But hey, how are we going to manage to make the future better if we don't remember our regrets from the previous year?  It's why I'm doing my Top Eleven Bottom Eleven Of 2013, the things I covered in this blog that frustrated me, drove me nuts, or just infuriated me with either how hard it was to write about, how painful it was to watch, or just something that I really didn't want to do.

I hope my suffering was worth it.

But first, of course, we're going to cheat a little.

Podblast! The Walking Eye

Some days, you just have to tune out everything and listen to something that makes you happy.

For that, they invented the podcast, the carry anywhere, listen anytime  radio program.  And there are podcasts about everything.  You want a podcast where people discuss MacGyver's science to see if it holds up?  It exists.  You want a podcast that breaks down each and every episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation?  There's at least one of those.  You want a podcast about sex techniques and health?  ...yeah, some exist.  Look, talk to me later, I'll give you some names.

In Podblast, I discuss podcasts I carry around on my little mp3 player, and discuss just what it is I like about them.

Or, in this case, what I don't like about them.
