Joanna Young recently posted 38 posts bloggers considered their best post of all from 2008. Simply the Best Posts of 2008 is excellent reading.

Luke Gedeon blew through the 100 comment barrier on a post for the first time. Yippee! What a way to kick off 2009.

Happy new year to you too, Brad.

Robert’s contest sounds interesting and the entries which I have read so far from Joanna’s collection have been a very good read.

Congrats to Luke on breaking the big three figures barrier.
