Transformers

JD Lasica runs down his Top 10 Tech Transformations of 2005. 1, 2, 6, 9, and 10 are all different sides of the same (very unique) coin.

I've been off making merry — and dealing with the resulting and/or concurrent mopping up/taking down, ear infection, and bronchilitis. It's painfully apparent I'll be elbow deep in crispy pine needles, antibiotics and nebulizers for the foreseeable future, but I commend you to:

• The Blawg Review Awards 2005 (Div-ine)


• Dennis Kennedy's The 2005 Blawggie Awards ("My one criticism is that the posts tend to be a little long.")


• Justice William W. Bedsworth, How I Won A Pulitzer ("I began researching. This is to say, I turned on PBS.")


• Chris Pirillo's Best And Worst Last Minute [or Post] Christmas Gifts ("Blank VHS Tapes")
