Hopefully this isn’t an arrogant concept, because it’s one of the few original ideas I’ve had in my life. I realize that the vast majority of people who are interested in my life aren’t on twitter. And for those who are, most of you still only catch a fraction of my tweets. So I decided that, in light of 2009 coming to a close, I’d put my “20 best” tweets of 2009 all in one place for you to catch some great random thoughts/ideas I’ve been dwelling on this past year. Enjoy!
