Following a meme shared by Neil Turner a year ago, here’s 2005 in review, via the first sentence of each month’s first post.
January: I won’t claim I’m back up to speed, but all the home email is read, the aggregator is showing only a day’s worth of new items, and I’ve got fewer than ten open browser windows. (Re-plugged, Jan 1, 2005)
February: Via Slashdot, I found this Ars Technica review of the radioShark. Solid details over four pages, with ample illustrations. (More details on the radioShark, Feb 1, 2005)
March: Tonight, I’m speaking briefly at the East Bay Internet Group (eBIG) meeting of the Blogging and RSS SIG (special interest group) on Jumping on the Blogwagon. What’s the Buzz on Business Blogging?. (Blogging and RSS SIG meeting tonight, Mar 1, 2005)
April: Actually, it’s not just geeks who will find the new Link Count numbers from PubSub interesting, but geeks will have fun arguing over a new dataset.(Geeks love numbers: Link Counts, Apr 1, 2005)
May: Well, actually it’s David Sifry who updated his State of the Blogosphere, but he’s CEO of Technorati and uses Technorati data as the raw material. (Technorati updates State of the Blogosphere, May 2, 2005)
June: Nice to have another site that requires little explanation: TV.com. (TV.com is live, Jun 2, 2005)
July: I threw out a link on Wednesday evening, but the RSS promo from work late Thursday afternoon actually drew attention to the News.com tag cloud. (Seeing who’s paying attention, Jul 5, 2005)
August: I was looking forward to seeing Batman Begins.
(Movie: Batman Begins, Aug 1, 2005)
September: Not quite sure what went wrong today, but the kids were at their worst today. (Whine is in the air, Sep 3, 2005)
October: First, I got excited that a Slashdot thread started about The Big Picture. (Slashdot misses the point, Oct 2, 2005)
November: I was reading Tim Bray’s brief notes on Wikipedia, which end with this observation about one possible fund-raising option. (Thought experiment: Wikipedia to book to… Google Print?, Nov 4, 2005)
December: Nothing like getting on a morning airplane to make for a light sleep the night before. (Light sleeping, Dec 6, 2005)
Not a best of, or most popular, but interesting for me to review all the same. 254 posts for the year.

2005 In Review
I liked this idea so much that I decided to run with it. Here’s 2005 in review, based on the first sentence of my first post of each month. January: what’s in, hip and trendy in The District, I give you the Washington Post’s occasionally clever atte…
