The video also reminds me of 
A year ago today, I started blogging every day. 365 days of blogging continuously is something to celebrate. I'll leave all the pontificating stuff for later - but I have to say I'm extremely grateful to everyone who I've interacted with in the last year. The idea that I would have been invited to speak at a conference, been offered employment and worked with some of the smartest minds in the syndication business in the space of a year would have seemed ridiculous on Christmas Day 2005. 
I have learned an enormous amount through blogging - through interacting with smart people both in real life and online. The last month or so has helped me in the mental transition from the Syndication Web through to the Semantic Web.
I'm just trying to figure out Friend of a Friend and in the process the method by which one produces RDF Schema and the Web Ontology Language (OWL).
This evening, I thought that it'd be a good idea to try and write an OWL ontology to describe Second Life relationships.
Here is the OWL file. The namespace is http://rdf.opiumfield.com/sl/0.1/
If you know anything about OWL, could you take a look at the file and see whether I've done something really silly. If not, then once all the family formalities are over tomorrow, I'll sit down and put together some example code.
I've included methods by which one can describe social "hang outs" and items for sale (like Kosso's BlogHUD, for instance).
So, tuck in and have a mince pie. And instead of slobbing out to the Queen's Speech, sit down and dream big about 2007, the year when we finally grok the Semantic Web.
