Best of 2020

Posted on December 30, 2020 by Tom Garrett

2020 wasn’t all bad. I have to say that this was a good year for me personally, demonstrating the value of baseline reclusiveness and living practically as a shut-in even before a pandemic hit. What seemed to many people to … Continue reading →

Best of 2018

Posted on December 31, 2018 by Tom Garrett

The end of each of the last few years has brought with it a lamentation that I don’t write as much for this blog as I once did. Unsurprisingly, that trend has continued in 2018. Not to belabor the point, … Continue reading →

Best of 2017

Posted on December 31, 2017 by Tom Garrett

News flash: I’m not as prolific a blogger as I used to be. The first couple of years of the Axis of Ego saw me post at least once a week. Usually twice. Sometimes more. Those days are lonnnnnnng gone. This is only … Continue reading →

Best of 2016

Posted on January 2, 2017 by Tom Garrett

Happy New Year! Since today is (observed as) New Year’s Day, I thought I would go through the usual motions of curating the best material I generated in 2016 and putting it all in one post. 2016 included a fairly … Continue reading →

Best of 2015

Posted on December 31, 2015 by Tom Garrett

A move, the first full year of a new job, and increasingly demanding writing responsibilities further compromised my ability to generate content for this website on a regular basis. However, I did managed to write 25 pieces. This year also … Continue reading →

Best of 2014

Posted on December 31, 2014 by Tom Garrett

A new job and shifting responsibilities caused my blog-related productivity to slip a bit. Overall, I published “only” 41 pieces in 2014, including this one. But, that’s life. This blog was always intended to be both an outlet for things … Continue reading →

Best of 2013

Posted on December 30, 2013 by Tom Garrett

I wasn’t quite as prolific in 2013 as I was in 2012, as this will be “only” the 72nd post on this blog this year. However, part of that had to do with the fact that I’ve been writing for … Continue reading →

Best of 2012

Posted on December 31, 2012 by Tom Garrett

The Axis of Ego’s second year was a productive one. This is the 105th and final post of the year, which averages out to a hair over two pieces per week. Not a bad clip. As of this writing, the … Continue reading →

Best of 2011

Posted on December 30, 2011 by Tom Garrett

This year began with me being bitten in the face by a dog and will end with me staring at a dwindling bank account and vowing to reform my questionable eating and exercise regimen before I suffer a coronary. Yet, 2011 … Continue reading →
