Lots of exciting things happened with everything from the release of the iPad and iPhone 4 to the Microsoft Kinect to the astronomical growth of Android, to the abysmal (but predictable) disappointment that was 3D TV (and don’t get me started on the 3D movies.)

All tolled, we published over 2,400 posts this year, bringing our total since we launched in 2006 up to over 7,000 posts. Wow. Our fingers are tired, but it was worth it. We know that not all of you visit every day (we wish you would – why not subscribe to our RSS Feed?), so I’ve compiled a list of the Top 1 percentile of posts of 2010 (based on traffic) for you guys to enjoy…

There’s a little something for everyone on the list – gadgets, geek art, cosplay, sexy geek girls (several of those – surprise!), retro cool stuff, and generally fun stuff. Be sure to check them all out. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it. Think of it as a late Christmahanakwanzakah gift.

Thanks for another great year. It was an exciting one, and Technabob continues to grow thanks to you guys. We ended the year with over 6.66 million unique visitors (what a devilish statistic!), and over 10 million pages viewed on the site. Be sure to stop back by in 2011 for all sorts of cool new toys – starting with next week’s 2011 CES show coverage.

Not only have I been traveling, my hosting provider decided to blow up our server infrastructure overnight, which kept Technabob offline for about 10 hours.

sorry pup

Everything is back up and running, but there was a little nervewracking to say the least.

Regular posting should resume later tonight. Thanks for your patience.
