My wonderful dog, Scrub, passed away unexpectedly on February 23rd, 2010, at the tender young age of 4 1/2 years. At the time of his death, and still now as I write this post, I was traveling in Southeast Asia and had not seen him in nearly 6 weeks. I wish, so dearly, that I could have been home to comfort him during his brief illness, and to properly say goodbye.

Every year since 2006, the market share held by Internet Explorer 6 has been plummeting, dropping about 10% per year. This is a good thing, as IE6 creates huge headaches for developers and security risks for end users; for instance, IE6 security exploits were at the heart of the recent security breach with Google in China, which is what got me thinking about this post.

My life was pretty hectic in the first month of the year, but when Jed posted 10 reflections for 2009 on the last day of January, he convinced me that it's not too late for me to do the same, particularly since it was a pretty big year for me.
