About two years ago, I re-entered the full-time work force, moved to a new town / apartment, and signed up for Twitter. I haven’t blogged much at all since then, but I have posted several thousand tweets.

I recently downloaded and started browsing my complete archive of tweets, and as I read them, I got the funny idea to recap the past two years by compiling some (carefully chosen) tweets. There’s so much more to say for any one of these, but there’s also something elegant and sincere about the untouched tweets from those very moments.

I’m splitting this recap into segments of a few months at a time, starting with May to December, 2007. Hope you enjoy!
