Extremely hard question.
First, I would have to stricken all of my web design from the pool. Maybe one or two of the Avalonstars would make it in, but they have nothing on some of the print design I've done.
That said, it would have to be a virtual tie between my business card design for Facebook and my identity and asset design for GitHub's CodeConf. These are for selfish reasons mostly.
While many of my favorite designs have done their time, the Facebook cards still exist in their original form. I caught one at PyCon recently and I was beside myself. After almost 7 years, I was sure that they would've changed by now. As for GitHub, the CodeConf design symbolized the first identity I had ever done for a conference. It was a delight to have that much freedom to "theme" the conference the way I wanted to. Also, walking into that ballroom when the conference started definitely left an impression. -
I plan on keeping the one between us, Formspring.

I haven't. Jen lived in Denver for 6 months when she was younger and I visited Denver for a conference while I was in college.
When I was there, it felt a little dead for lack of a better term. Not really my type of city to be honest. But I really can't judge otherwise.
Oh, and there's something I like about being near the ocean. :) -
Sometimes—and this has happened a lot to me—you get to the point in a project when you've been coding up the design and there are those last few pages that you forgot to mock up and don't wish to. A lot of the pages you see in the private beta are from that stage in the process, and I hate that.
I really wish I could just power through everything from beginning to end, but if I stumble on one thing, the effects seem to snowball and then I start losing my touch. With this project especially, every problem I've had seemed to be two to three times more taxing. So, that would be my least favorite.
Everything else has been a challenge and welcome ones at that. I've programmed things I couldn't have possibly explained in a coherent manner a few years ago. I've also learned a lot about myself as a designer: what my strengths are, what my weaknesses are. Even if Hello! Ranking doesn't work out, I'm better for it and I won't come out feeling like the time's been wasted. -
Does it suit me? Hm, well, I'm thankful for two things regarding my name.
The first is that I'm thankful that my mom spelled my name with a "y" rather than the common "i", it just looks better to me. The second would be the fact that the name "Bryan" isn't really common amongst Filipinos. The combination of my first and last name is the only one that I know of. :)
If I were to name my clone? Man, it would depend on if I could change both his first name and last name. If I could, I'd really have to put some thought into it. If anything I would probably want the name to be a little bit more obscure... like... yeah, I can't think of anything right now. :P -
This is a bit simple, although fattening. I would want the following: sweet and sour chicken, and chicken fried rice. However, I would want them from one of two places. Either Mandarin Garden in Providence, RI or Phoenix Palace in Mercer Island, WA.
