The blogosphere's faithful host of this year-end treat, Batocchio, has once again collected an engaging selection of blog posts from the year that was, as chosen by the blog authors themselves. It never fails to remind us of the value of the diverse voices of small blogs and the reason why we do the thing we do: because we can use our unique and sometimes specialized perspectives to cast a light on certain corners of our daily events and explain what we are seeing in a way mainstream journalism generally doesn't.
Anyway, it's always a treat--like a sampler of candies you just have to bite into not knowing exactly what to expect but knowing they will be good. I never read through these posts without thinking about what a great community the left blogosphere is, and what a cool thing it is to get such a neat recap of its highlights.
Go--treat yourself. It can take a few days to go through. But it is one of the most worthwhile internet traditions, and I'm happy one of my posts is a part of it.
