By no means an exhaustive list, and much of it’s not necessarily new in 2007, just new to me.

Best New (To Me) Music: The National

Not a new group, but new to me this past year, The National quickly rose to the top of my rotation list. Their newest release in 2007, Boxer, is fantastic, but Alligator is still their best in my opinion.

Best New (To Me) Gadget & Toy: The iPhone & Wii

I think there’s been enough said about these two already.

Best Thing in My Inbox: Very Short List

I don’t subscribe to many email lists, but by far the best email list from last year is Very Short List. If you’re not getting “one gem a day, five days a week”, this is one email list that won’t get lost with the rest of the bacn.

Best New Icon on My Dock: Coda

An all-in-one web development tool with all the elegance and simplicity of a Mac app. Coda hasn’t changed the way I work as much as it has for many others, but it’s definitely a great new tool I use on almost every project.

Best Waste of a Day: Waiting in Line for the iPhone

I’ve never been the type to wait in line all day for something, but then again Apple never released a phone before. While it’s something I probably won’t do again, it was fun to be part of the launch brouhaha.
