Shipping

I won’t do a complete list as Godin here, I (we) actually shipped a load of stuff, more than in any other year of my life; thank you Seth for continuous inspiration!

I will just pick the shipping I’m more happy about, and of course it’s Licorize.

And my new year’s proposition is to ship still more in 2011!
