Happy New Year, everyone! Now that we are well into 2004, I wanted to remind you of the link to the excellent fimoculous 2003 Year In Review, chock-full of links to year-ending lists, reviews, and rankings. In particular, the Google 2003 Year-End Zeitgeist presents search trends for last year, which are a pretty good barometer for what was in the news or popular at the time.
Update: I just happened upon Dave Barry’s hilarious article “Between Iraq and a Hard Place” that pokes fun at the events of 2003.
