I have to put together a list of everything I've accomplished professionally in the last few years. (Since I was hired at UIC, September 2008). Yes, I should have been keeping this list all along, no doubt. No, I haven't been. Yes, it's going to hurt, trying to figure out every place I've done a reading or whatever. But I have to try, and it needs to be done today. If anyone is bored and would like to help crowdsource my accomplishments (googling? browsing this journal?), would appreciate the help.

Sadly, having Anand and raising Kavi do not count.

Update: It turns out I do have some of this documented (yay!) -- but it stops in May 2010 (boo!). What have I done for you LATELY?

Update 2: Hmm...does writing two invited guest blogs at Whatever during RaceFail count as 'publishing'? I think they were significant to the community, and I worked hard on them. But -- publishing??
