A meaningful list from Wired Science.
Quote: From the amazing collective power of jellyfish, to a new human ancestor, to a cancer-detecting breathalyzer test, these stories made our list of kick-ass science in 2009. Added: January 1, 2010 at 9:19PM EST

Jason Kottke hired Jenni Leder to compile this List of Lists about the 2000s, which, if you haven't noticed, are rapidly giving way to the 2010s. Lots of sources here, with new items clearly marked and 210 lists as I type this.

Rex Sorgatz has been hard at work on his annual List of Lists, neatly split into categories, starting with Advertising and working its way through the alphabet down to Words. There are seven lists under that last heading.

A great technical, meteorologist-friendly explanation of what caused this weekend's ridiculous winter storm in the midatlantic.
Quote: Let's start up north -- way north. Over the past few weeks, a pattern has been developing over the Arctic Circle region that flushes cold air away from the North Pole and toward the midlatitudes (where we live). Added: December 21, 2009 at 10:50AM EST

Global warming, international relations, Iraq, Chechnya, and more -- but not the headlines you were expecting. An important year-end list from Foreign Policy magazine, spotted via kottke.org.
Quote: From a naval alliance that could shift the military balance of power on two continents to a troubling security gap in the U.S. passport system to a brand-new way to circle the globe, these are the stories that never got the attention they deserved in 2009 but could dominate the conversation in 2010.
