I am so excited 2008 is over. You have no idea - what a needlessly difficult year that was. Here’s hoping everyone, every where, has a much better 2009.

In honor of the new year, my next Topics on Fire podcast will be on New Year, New You and has several of the best dressed men in Boston on the panel to help you navigate the waters of looking and feeling and being your best in the coming year. Check it out at 10PM EST on January 4th on TalkShoe.

Happy holidays everyone, whatever you celebrate. My biggest wish is that all of my friends, family, colleagues, and even people I have not yet met have the greatest joy this season and find peace and prosperity in the new year.

I posted about the Ice Storm already. Why mention it again? The power just came back on! I know, 9 days - redonkulusly long, but yet some have it worse. Many won’t get power back until after New Year’s Eve. So keep those people and towns in your thoughts.

Meanwhile, it is snowing. Reaaaaallly snowing. There is over a foot so far, and it is still coming down. It’s pretty here. This house only has a 2 foot long “drive way”, as opposed to the house I live in in NH which has a 300 foot driveway and a full wrap around. Guess I get to do some shoveling when I go back up there!

As Christmas (and Hanukkah) approaches, here is wishing all of you happy holidays. May you have a bit less of a white holiday than New England has had!

So, New England had this massive ice storm this week. I recorded an Utterli expressing my worry, but I thought I’d come back here and fill you in. Whole family is fine, dog is fine. Fish is probably not fine without his filter but there is little I can do about that. Currently in Massachusetts in a house that has power, lights, water, food, waiting for word that power is back on in NH and hoping pipes don’t freeze while away and the furnace we just had replaced doesn’t burst. Also hoping our friends are all ok, as many don’t have the extra cell phone batteries to waste by checking in.

I set up a Ning group for people who are online to help people who may not have internet find food, shelter, generators, etc at http://icestormhelp.ning.com and you can also follow the hashtag on search.twitter #08icestorm - not many people are signed up right now but I hope that changes soon. Let’s help each other through since it is expected to be as long as Wednesday before power is back on.

Everyone knows how much I love Evernote - it has been a saving tool in my social media toolbox for quite some time. Even so, I constantly evaluate potential new tools, and today’s contender is WebNotes. You can read my full review of WebNotes on Tech.Blorge. If you are a student (especially someone who keeps track of lots of details, like a law student) or anyone else who needs to take notes, cite sources and keep track of information on a per project basis, you might want to check it out for your toolbox. I have plenty of invites. You can get them form the link to Tech.Blorge in the review, or ask me here in comments. Enjoy!
