We got a whole metric ton* of great feedback on our paper McAnnual Report that we thought we'd finish up the year on the blog with some Top 5's.

You can fix that by signing up on our mailing list here, and we'll get a copy out to you pronto… Meanwhile you can enjoy the content here.) Okay, without further ado, here are some top 5's!
