Min Jung Kim has decided to break up with 2005. We always thought that 2006 would be better for her anyway -- bad boys like 2005 are fun, but always end up causing you trouble. Supr.c.ilio.us turns in a year-end list of the top ten people they wished would link to them. We can't believe Dave Winer didn't link to their defense of snark (like we did). And Glenda B at Agendacide runs down the year in music in a podcast with Eric Rice. more ›

We love architecture, we love politics and we love San Francisco. Hence, one of our favorite blogs is San Francisco Cityscape, written and maintained by Steve Boland. What started in 2001 as a site that digested news reports about urban planning, now his posts offer more analysis and deeplinks to other relevant information about specific topics.

Ian over at WULAD must have smoked some Ombuds before deconstructing some political graffiti. Dinah Sanders explains her votes in the election -- before a new TV campaign from Herr Governator can get to her. In a mood to protest, but not to get off the couch? The UK brings us two technologies to let folks tele-protest via SMS. more ›

Like the band Semisonic says, "Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." So what new beginnings and other beginnings' ends did we see this week? Well, we ushered in the the atomic age, for one. And the end of the Bay Area's AL and NL baseball seasons. The man who made the doggie diner head has passed on. Fleet Week came and went. Say goodbye to tuna melts, Ross Mirkarimi! Say goodbye to dignity, Ron Chun! In new beginnings, though -- welcome to our ombudsman's new gig as our East Bay correspondent! And the Real World will be filming a new season in SF. Welcome to Daily Show stardom, Tom Ammiano! Welcome back, Keplers! And SFist Jackson introduces a new column -- the Bay Area Blog Pulse. Say goodbye to the old week -- say hello to the new. more ›
