Here is my year's worth of bests and worsts. I figure its probably the easiest way to remember things in a condensed form.
Note that things here don't necesarily mean they came out in 2006, merely that I simply discovered them in 2006.

I'm sure I could go on forever, but I think that about wraps up the memorable things. Roll on 2007.
