Favourite posts of the year

I really like when bloggers take the time to cull through their writing and reveal their best or favourite pieces. Certainly the ease of web 2.0 publishing often means that the good stuff can get quickly buried in favour of the more current work.

In a effort to avoid the dreaded “list“, I’ll simply post some of my favourite posts of the past year with a quick explanation of why I thought their were especially important or interesting.
