bits and bytes …

It’s the end of the year, and you know what that means … best of lists! If you have, submit one in the comments. I’ll pull the best ones into the main post.

Submitted by Crispy, a list of 2005 albums you should know about. I know of none of them (besides iron and wine because of their presence on the garden state soundtrack), but plan to catch up.

Shannen didn’t submit, but will enjoy, Reuters top photos of 2005. She’ll be in there next year ;).

Blogs are a new media form for me, but others have been at it a while. The 2005 Bloggies are awarded to the best blogs out there, and give us something to aspire to.

The Webbies have been around longer, and are given to the best, neatest, most different websites out there each year, 2005 is no exception. Worth checking out too.

Google puts together a “zeitgeist” feature each week, indicating what search terms are more or less popular each week. The strangest things pop up there. They’ve pulled that all together into a 2005 Year End Zeitgeist.

And this is just a link I found that will be right up Shannen and Sean’s dark and scary alley.
