What Did You Accomplish In 2010 ? : A Parody Of Seth Godin's Post "What Did You Ship?"

Read What The Kitschy Collector Accomplished Last Year (2010).

I read Seth Godin's (author of Purple Cow) blog each morning. One of his recent posts is titled #Year In Review: What Did You Ship? He lists all the projects he accomplished in 2010.He starts off his post with the following "This might be a useful exercise. Doesn't matter whether it was a hit or not, it just matters that you shipped it. Shipping something that scares you (and a lot of what follows did) is the entire point." Of course by "shipping" he means what have you actually accomplished. What project(s) have you completed? He continues "[Funny, it's actually difficult to publish a list like this... maybe that's another reason we hesitate to ship, because we don't want to tout too much]."

Here is Seth Godin's List

• Launch Linchpin
• Book launch in New York, including triibes dinner
• Worldwide blog tour, including book signing with Steven Pressfield
• Launch and run the Nano MBA program
• Launch Roadtrip—Boston, DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Los Angeles
• Two worldwide Linchpin meetups--more than 1500 meetups held
• Squidoo launches social gaming system and hits the top 90 on Quantcast
• Speech at the ISB in Hyderabad
• $40,000 for Charity:Water in July
• $275,000 for charity from Squidoo to celebrate 5 years
• 13,000 people at Catalyst in October, including Graceful booklet
• Launch and run the FeMBA program
• Announce the Domino Project with Amazon and hire accomplices to help launch it

I thought it would be fun for each of us to create our own list. You can make your list privately or if you want you can share what is on your list in the comments below.I suppose if I was making a list it would not at all be as grand as entrepreneur Seth Godin's . But here is what would be on my list:
