When I say I "met" someone, I mean online, unless otherwise specified

These aren't in any order.

1. Meeting Jere Hough and all the people who participated in the old Poverty threads, including of course Mark Grimes who gave me my own soapbox, Vaccine for Poverty. Speaking of Mark, I find it so amazing that he is hosting ned.com.
2. Meeting CM Magowan, and all his insights about retailing which shaped my tree free TP activities and inspired me to post pictures about that.
3. Meeting Christina Jordan, who, among others, inspired me to experiment with proxy tree planting, and all the people who sent me $1-100 in exchange for me planting trees.
4. Meeting Samuel Musyoka, Richard, Daniel, and the other Kenyans I met in Nairobi. A trip I will never forget, and one I hope to repeat in some fashion soon.
5. Meeting nmw in Frankfurt, and learning so much esoteric stuff from him.
6. Meeting Ted Ernst, Julie Peterson, Michael Maranda, Gerry Gleason in Chicago. Ted was an amazing host, and is an amazing guy. I am honored to walk on the same planet with him.
7. Getting coached by Jean Russell. She also allowed me to coach her some. One of the most generous people I know.
8. Meeting Ravi and David Braden and David Bale and Arthur Brock and the others who are willing to talk about new paradigms.
9. The Daily Appreciations project. And James Davis and his UCSC students all posting weighty discussions and thinking outside the box.
10. Doing the research to figure out whether Jan Vincent was a boy or a girl. Playing online with Jan was also a high point for me.
11. Julie Caldwell, the first o/netter who actually called me and talked to me! That blew my mind.
