For me my greatest accomplishment for 2008 was to summit Mont Blanc on July 17th.
Crossed some mountains and hikes off my to-do list, so it was pretty good.

Built some Pultec eq clones.
Played a lot of gigs.
Got a job, got laid off.
Recorded a record that will probably never be completed let alone released.
Made some new friends.
I stopped calling some of my friends. They are still friends but I felt like I was doing all the work.
