I can’t believe that the Corporate Barbarian Blog is a year old today!  Boy, I’ve sure learned a lot in the past year.  Last February, I was a blogging noob, and now, while I can’t say that I’m a seasoned veteran, at least I’m less of a noob.  Here’s a selection of my favorite posts from my first year.  I hope that you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.

February 2009

A Foolproof File Naming System - My OCD-tinged attempt at restoring order to my computer’s hard drive.

March 2009

Standing on the Shoulders of Giants - Where I give props to Ed, the macro master.

September 2009

How Ugly are Your Coworkers? - I dare you to take a look around at your fellow corporate creatures.

October 2009

Seek Discomfort - No pain, no gain is the message.  Always try something new (and difficult).  It’ll help you grow.

November 2009

Take the Fork in the Road - If you have the time, take this novel approach - do it both ways!  I never said that I was conventional.

December 2009

How My OCD Keeps Me Grounded at Work

- Just like the title says.  Read on about my little rituals.

January 2010

Are You on “Lombardi Time”? - You had to be doing something right to get the Super Bowl trophy named in your honor.  It’s all about preparation and respect for others.

I’m especially excited that now I can have features like “A Year Ago on The Corporate Barbarian”, and act like I’ve been doing this for a long time.  A big Thank You to everyone who’s taken the time to read my posts, especially those who’ve subscribed via email or an RSS reader.  Stay tuned for more of my belligerent ramblings.
