The year gone and the year to come
2008 has been a year of reinventions. At the start of the year I was a surgical registrar, mother and PhD student. I am still those things, but I am now a blogger and writer, as well, although it is very self-conscious to say that.
Applequack 2008 Hits and Memories
I started this blog in 2007, but I only posted 4 articles in that year. I wrote 108 articles in 2008, and I am pretty proud of that effort. My most popular articles (according to analytics) were:
- Reviews of Mac Project Management Software
- How to use your iPhone to keep a patient List
- Medical software I couldn’t do without
- 20 ways surgeons should use Evernote
- How to prepare a medical slide presentation
- 12 really useful Mac calender utilities
- Comparison of Papers and Bookends
- Top iPhone wallpapers for Doctors
- iPhone timer boosts productivity
- Anatomy software for Macs
- Options for personal study wikis on the Mac
I started this blog because I couldn’t find any mac relevant information for doctors out there. Over the last year stacks more people have starting using macs, and a fledgling community has grown up here. I have even had some requests for information and reviews, which makes me really happy. I would like to thank those of you who read this blog regularly, and I hope you continue to participate.
And for 2009
Well 2009 is off to a great start. I have been chosen as a finalist in the 2009 Medblog awards. Thanks to those who nominated me. I am up against some much celebrated and organised blogs, so I am chuffed to have made the cut.
Edited to add: Voting is now open for the Medblog awards. Please visit the site and vote in all the categories so we get as fair a vote as possible.
On a personal front, 2009 will be The Year of the Thesis. I submit my PhD thesis this year, all going well. So I guess that will mean a few more posts focussed on writing, studying and planning. I will throw in some clinically relevant stuff as well.
If you have some thoughts for topics you would like to see covered in 2009, please contact me.
