Bonus points (towards nothing) to anyone who knows who said that (without searching the Internet).

Sun, 01/02/2011 - 15:53 Comment #: 6There are some dissenters that believe that the millennium really started on 2001, but I prefer thinking about it starting on 2000. ;)
I can't believe a decade of it is already over. If time goes by so fast, then the world is really young in a sense, because 100 years ago we had very few cars, no travel by plane, many less places had electricity... if things could change that much over the last 100, which is really just a bit more than a person's lifetime, then imagine the next 100?

Hopefully, we'll have just as much progress over this century as the last. (Of course, what revelations will come about is nearly unfathomable to imagine.) I wonder if we could figure out how to do it with all positives? I really like the plus symbol. ;)

He'll turn 12 in January of 2011. Unbelievable.
Thanks for including me here Jessica. All the best to you in 2011!
