Getting entrepreneurial in 2008

A fond farewell from an intrepid columnist, who exits offering shameless self-promotion for two adrenaline-boosting ventures

If you're into antiques or a collector yourself, go straight to our category index of antiques and collectibles, or type whatever you collect into the search box. Otherwise, start with our Hall of Fame, a showcase of the best collector sites on the Web. And if you just want to look at a few sample pages, here's some I personally think are really cool: antique typewriters, antique radios, vintage guitars, antique tractors, antique bottles, Coca-Cola collectibles, antique model cars, vintage computers, vintage posters, and (happy holidays) Christmas antiques.

If you feel like it, drop me a note (using the e-mail above or the contact page on CollectorsWeekly.com) and let me know what you think. What could be improved or added? What do you collect? And of course, thanks in advance for spreading the word about the site to any collector or antique-lover friends you may have.

Finally… thanks to all the readers who've read my previous 118 columns, e-mailed me, flamed me, kept me honest, and pushed me with good ideas and fresh perspectives. And thanks to the many great people at InfoWorld I've worked with since 2001, with a special mention for Doug Dineley, my patient and forgiving editor those first two years, and Eric Knorr, who's had to put up with me and my attitude ever since.

Thanks all, and have a great 2008!
