This is not another "new decade" post as you might expect. In fact, it's the opposite. I can once again go into nitpick mode and drive people nuts ;)
The first decade of the 21th century is not over. For the same reason that the 3rd millenium and the 21th century did not begin 10 years ago: the simply did not. A decade has 10 years. A century 100. A millenium has 1000. The first year was 1. Ask our calendar guys: there is no year 0 in the "christian calendars". See you next year! ;)
