(Go by Mark Tatulli's Lio book, please.)
I get a wee bit more excited about New Year's Eve than Xmas, though I have mixed emotions about NYE as well. I like the ideas of renewal, of taking a look at one's life, of looking toward the horizon for new ideas and feelings. I hate the idea that one changes significant things in one's life by deciding to on a particular day, which is often doomed to failure. (There are always lots of people in the gym I go to in January, and it's almost always empty the rest of the year, for instance.)
I do have some goals for Feminist Allies. I want to try to revive posting every day, and try to include something on the weekends. I want to have more in-depth posts a few days a week at least, rather than mostly blurby-goodness. I would love more discussion. And I'm hoping that this year I might find some allies who are interested in turning this into something of a groupblog again. (I'm also not going to jump into it with anybody--I've realized that to blog with somebody you need to not only have a passion for the subject; you also need some other things in common.)
Mostly I just want to read and write more, and get into more discussions with people. I've expanded and changed what feminism means to me since this blog was started, and I've 'met' lots of interesting people with complex ideas, and I'd love to understand it all a lot better. And hopefully help make some change.
Have a safe New Year's Eve everybody!

Nice post Jeff. I too have been thinking of / looking at doing some sort of collaborative work with others who are of similar opinion on issues I am passionate about. Though I do hear you when you say that you aren't diving in head first. I too have group blogged and there are many factors involved that may not be apparent at the outset.
I've enjoyed reading your site these past few months and would be interested in discussing the above with you further at some point.
Cheers,
Al
