# Top 10 Silicon Florist posts for December 2009

Yes, yes. I realize we’re in 2010. (“Happy New Year!” by the way.) But it seems I still have a few residual 2009 items hanging out there that I’d like to cover. And one of those things is rounding up the [top 10 Silicon Florist posts](http://siliconflorist.com/?s=%22top+10%22 "Monthly top 10 Silicon Florist posts lists") from last December.

So that wraps up 2009 for posts. But there will be some more wrap up coming a little later today. From [my 2009 recap on Strange Love Live](http://strangelovelive.com/?p=979 "Glancing Back: 2009 with Rick Turoczy"). So more recapping is imminent.

I’m sorry. I just seem to have a hard time letting go of 2009. For as dire as it seemed, it was a really good year.
