Another year of blogging has (almost) come to an end, and thus it’s time to highlight what I think were the 10 best of the past 12 months.

Like last year, I didn’t blog as much as I wanted to, but that’s going to change in 2015.  I’m going to jump-start the year with a new post every day in January (taking requests now).

But that’s the future.  Let’s count down the past, finishing with the greatest post of all time:

10. Extra Medium Pasta
Two pasta makers give me identical shells, but one labels them medium and the other large.  Naturally, I ask them to explain this lunacy.

9.  Box 27, Check
I take partial credit for the New York Times fixing a massive OCD issue with its homepage.

8.  Vegemite This Be A Bad Idea
My Australian friend dares me to eat vegemite.  I do.  I wish I hadn’t. (I still have a ton if anyone wants to dig in!)

7.  Let It Woah
I become a social media superstar thanks to a Nationals player and the epidemic that is “Frozen.”

6.  Brick Simpsons
Lego lets me indulge my Simpsons nerdery. Time-lapse photography lets you watch much faster than I could build.

5.  Going Back to #1s
A running diary of the morning I spent listening to Songza’s stream of #1 hits from the 2000s.

4. No Hits For You (Marlins)
Jordan Zimmermann throws a no-hitter.  I scream on video.  Life is perfect.

3.  Oregon Trail of Misfortune
I fire up Oregon Trail and take my friends (and a few celebs) on a disastrous journey across this great land.

2. Operation Get Breakfast Get Home
An overnight snowstorm while I was at work leaves me in search of a meal and a way home.

1. Anastasiya and the Eli Manning Airport
I get intentionally catfished for the second time, winding a three-month journey that ends up with a document in Russian citing an airport named after Eli Manning.
