the end of year roundup

it's time a) to stop saying I'm getting back up on the blogging horse and f*&king do it and b) condense my sidebar items in preparation for 2013.  It's a small housekeeping item, so bear with me.  I like to be able to look back at this kind of stuff, so I'm dragging you one or two (or zero) people with me.
