Via’s a little late with its 2006 year in review (here’s 2005) but they took pains to assure us they didn’t scrap the idea. Instead they were working hard to cram in every last inside joke they could.

There’s even a background song that gives the whole thing a high school yearbook vibe.

The 2006 review is super-long and more than a little sentimental. It reeks of a nostalgia that’s confusing because, after all, these aren’t our memories.

We did remember this, though.
