I learned that Craigslist can be a pretty good part time job. We made $1,720 in 2010 with less than 10 hours of total work.*

I learned that our video Things You Can’t Do When You’re Not a Dog is most popular in…Brazil?

Thanks to Born to Run, I learned about the wonderful world of barefoot running, and absolutely loved my Vibram FiveFingers purchase.

I learned how to fold a fitted sheet.

I learned that I could cancel cable and still be able to watch 99.9% of what I watched before. Only now I’ll be saving $1,280.64 in 2011.*

I loved Tim Ferriss books. Many of you have asked me why, and I think the main reason is this – even when he is talking about stuff that doesn’t directly apply to me, he consistently causes me to challenge conventional thinking. And not just about work. Fitness, eating, time management, money, etc, etc, etc. Awesome stuff.

I learned that half marathons are 98% mental. Maybe even 99%.

I learned a lot about self-publishing (thanks mistakes!). Book Two will be a better experience for everyone. I promise.

I learned that Don Miller, one of my favorite authors of all time, isn’t all I assumed he’d be.

I loved tubemogul.com. Upload a video once, have it distributed to about 15 different sites automatically – for free.

I learned about the glory of french press coffee.

I loved being a dad.

I learned that it takes precisely 6.5 weeks to be able to laugh about a bombed performance in front of 13,000 people.

I learned the power and beauty of FREE – Google Voice, Mint.com, Evernote.com, Grooveshark.com, Google Docs, Gimp.org, and a library card (to name a few) have been revolutionary.*

I loved working at the Lake Lucerne Starbucks, which [cue emotional music] will be closing its doors on December 28.

I learned that being form-tackled by Jerome Bettis is both terrifying and exhilarating at the same time.

I loved Dexter and Friday Night Lights. And I loved finding out about both of them four seasons into their series, enabling us to watch six in a row if we so desired.

I learned that there’s a lot of animosity between people with kids and people without kids.

I learned that the worst thing about rappelling 100ft from the rafters of Gwinnett Arena is knowing two months in advance that you’re going to have to rappel 100ft from the rafters of Gwinnett Arena.

I learned a lot of life lessons from religiously watching The Bachelorette.

I loved turning 30.

I learned that my wife is insanely (tri)athletic.

I loved a ton of books. In addition to the ones already mentioned, these were my favorite:

A Million Miles in a Thousand Years by Don Miller
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by JK Rowling
Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk
Born Standing Up by Steve Martin
Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson

I loved tracking runs with Nike+ and RunKeeper. Turns out I’m a data/statistics junkie.

I learned that (right now) the iPad is pretty much just a toy. But…it’s the best toy I own.

I learned that Bryan Allain really does live in Intercourse.

I learned that, amidst the magic and excitement, Disney World can bring out the absolute worst in children and adults. I, unfortunately, am no exception.

What about you? What did you learn and/or love in 2010?

* I’ll be writing more about these topics in the future.
