It can't be said enough how fine some of the blogs on the internet are, and Ian's Createquity is one of the finer ones in our little arts-policy world. Today he has a retrospective on what he's learned since 2007, which I can basically substitute as what I've learned in 2009 being a reader of his blog.
And what's amazing is that those are the things that I've learned reading his blog, and I've also learned equally as much reading those other blogs out there. If I actually had a brain that wasn't made of soggy wheat and could retain half of the information I've been reading through in the last year, I'd be comfortable calling myself a pretty savvy guy.
