Happy 1st Blogiversary to Me!: The top 10 posts of my first year of blogging

Looking over this list, I noticed something a little strange to me: most of my favorite posts aren't on it!  I'm thinking maybe I should do a sequel to this (later today, so it is still on my blogiversary?) that is the "best of" as picked by me.  What about your favorites?  Did they make this list?
