Because it seems de rigeuer to do so (and because I love saying de rigeuer), here’s an end-of-2004 review of the goings on in the Ink Well and the world at large. Because I like living in the past, I’m going through all the archives. This will take a bit, so I guess I’ll just do 3 months each night for the next 4 nights. If you disagree with my choices for “coolest link” or “favorite post,” feel free to let me know, so I can ignore you purposefully.

I plan to bring back all the “this is your blogs” Although due to lack of knowledge on my part the tributes will have to be put into adobe format. I would have done it sooner but health was an issue. Thanks for the mention. Happy New Year.
