The 100 best links of 2009

For each of the past six years, I’ve collected my favorite stuff posted to kottke.org into a “best links of the year” list. 2009’s list — the original 100 kottke.org posts containing those links, in random order — covers such topics as healthcare spending, Amish hackers, gaussian goats, surfing videos, fun Flash games, Pete Campbell dancing, Rwandan genocide, and something called the McGangBang, as well as the usual array of dazzling video, photos, and art featured on kottke.org in the past year. Kiss the rest of your day goodbye!

Past best-of lists: 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004.

P.S. kottke.org’s Person of the Year: Chesley Burnett “Sully” Sullenberger III.
