I’m copying other bloggers by doing a best-of-2007 list. These are my picks for favorites posts, not necessarily the readers picks. I found out I really like a lot of my posts, I had a hard time keeping this post short. I tstill hink my political ones make good points, and my funny ones still make me laugh. I suppose it’s a good thing that I find my own blog worthy!
Must I Quantify Everything?
Analyzing Gillette’s new razor and my high school’s deathrate.
An .mp3 feature I want. The last line of this kills me, “I’m very easily bothered.”
How much money do you need to have before you’ll buy a pricey car? I was surprised to get no comments on this.
Humor:
This still makes me laugh. Seriously, how does Al Gore buy sextoys?
My one-note review of Harry Potter.
Funny quotes from my 4-year old: One, two, three, and four. Expect more in 2008.
The most embarrassing songs in my .mp3 library
Sports:
My beloved Pats lose to the Colts. It’s good to see that Kraft listened to me for the 2007 version. Losing… seems so long ago! There was a longer version also.
The first of many reactions to the 2007 Patriots. As we make history 15 games later, made history with the NFL’s first 16-win perfect regular season, my points for the year haven’t changed.
World Series of Poker commentary. I particularly like my economic analysis of the pro to amateur ratio.
Politics and Government:
These two posts on Social Security are about the best work I’ve done. Very few people understand what Social Security is or how it works, and thus their opinions are worthless. I lay out how it all works and some of the implications of it. Here’s Part One and Part Two. I may do a Part Three someday.
I officially support John Edwards, and the commenters go crazy, setting a Muttroxia record.
How the media frames the Democrats. The comments went down a different angle, I thought my original point was more interesting.
The connection between Baseball and voting policy. (This can go under politics, sports, and humor – I hit the trifecta!)
And don’t forget! You can always search for the many posts called “Links o’ Interest”.
How did I miss that posting on mortality rate?! Great post! Just a great combination of statistics, curiosity, and morbidity.
