I'd give predictions for the new year, but I tend to stink at those. I do have one iron clad prediction though - George Steinbrenner will bring more hitters (which the Yankees don't need) and grab over the hill pitchers (like Randy Johnson) rather than develop the farm system. Sigh. With that out of the way, let me grab my favorite posts from the last year:

• January: on computers and education
• February: dynamically updating a server
• March: Software and Profits
• April: When to optimize
• May: Niall Ross' StS 2004 Notes
• June: The tough get tools
• July: Outsourcing and clock time
• August: Is it Hacking?
• September: DRM and social cues
• October: Implement and Continue
• November: A summary of my tech posts
• December: Aggregating the Commentary

On that last post, I am using PubSub feeds now, and they tend to be very good. I especially like the fact that they highlight the search term in the feed that comes back.
