Jason Kottke has clearly got a hold on what makes a great blog, and part of that is the beautiful skill of compiling links for an audience with a discernible, unique character. Check his best links of 2005 (my subjective favorite is this interview with David Foster Wallace) and get lost on the Web in a good way, for once. My second favorite Kottke 05 link: Surf smart and read Jon Krakauer's 1995 Outside magazine piece on late big-wave God Mark Foo's last ride, and bask in what great magazine writing should be.)
