What does 2008 have in store for you? Happy and Prosperous New Year to everyone. (I know, I know, am a bit late). If I were writing this, say a week back, I would have created a list of sorts, at least thats what everybody does. Being a "procrastinator to the nth degree" (thats what my wife calls me), I am late and so I have decided to put together a list of those "Top List" published elsewhere.

While looking for those lists, I was struck at how most of those lists are a "space fill". There were some I found interesting, one transcending to the near level of inspirational. Below is a small list of the lists.
