Lists! Year-end Lists!

Rex expects over 600 lists to populate Lists: 2005:

2001 had 350 list, and it has grown steadily to last year’s high of 550. So I’d expect 600+ this year. Some of it depends on which lists I allow in — if I included every single music blogger’s list, that would be a couple thousand alone. (Music is always the biggest category. I apologize every year that I can’t possibly add every single music blogger’s list.)

If you crave lists head on over and satisfy your hunger and if you know of a list that is not included let him know.

Korean Restaurants to Experience Increased Business

I’m certainly going to add one or two to my list of stops and will be ordering extra sides of kimchi:

Korea’s traditional side dish has begun attracting worldwide attention again as a potential remedy for avian influenza. It is a golden opportunity to restore pride in kimchi as a healthy food relished by people the world over.

Does anyone track and report sales at Korean restaurants or kimchi sales in particular? Either might be a pretty good index for how concerned people are about avian flu.
