2007 In Review

For the fourth year in a row, here it is: my “year-in-review” post. The format for this year is going to be a little different; I’m getting rid of the Greatest Ally/Enemy categories because they seemed to cause more harm than good. Where applicable, nominees are linked (a “#” denotes a link to a blog post about the nominee).

See the nominees after the break.
