Colloquium’s Best of 2007

Colloquium’s Best of 2007

It’s a New Year and Colloquium has a new look! Hopefully, 2008 will also bring many new friends — in the blogosphere and real life — as well as exciting personal and professional opportunities!

If you are a new reader, welcome! Sit back, relax and enjoy some of my favorite work. If you are a returning or regular reader, thanks for your support and encouragement. I also invite you to review some of the articles listed here in case you missed them the first time around.These articles are my personal favorites, for a variety of reasons. They may not necessarily be the most popular entries from last year or, in some cases, even the best-written. But they are the ones that resonated with me as I looked back over the titles from the past twelve months.
