Exactly one year ago, I was yelling at my computer, wondering if this darn blogging software was ever going to work and asking myself what I had gotten myself into. Now, 320 posts later, we've reached our first birthday! It's really hard to believe that it's only been a year.

Some highlights from the year:
- Top 5 weirdest search terms that landed someone on this blog: Mother of all matter, brother&sister, accordian lessons alabama mobile, bed movies, i am a janitor
- Most unrelated site that links to hospitalimpact: www.samanthaburns.com (though I think she recently deleted the link)
- Most popular posts: Grand Rounds 2.05 (in the form of a letter from a hospital janitor) and the "If Disney Ran Your Hospital" Series
- Worst posts: when I mistakenly praised yahoo finance and shafted FDR.
- Best thing I did on the blog this year: had Andrew Barna and Nick Jacobs to blog with me.

For all those readers who've been with me from the start, thank you! What was the highlight for you? What would you like to see more of this coming year?

Let me leave you my two favorite non-healthcare blogs: waiterrants (our hospital registration staff should be trained by this guy) and Postsecret (safe way to vent. I wonder if this would be HIPAA-complaint)

Looking forward to another great year.
