As the eyes of the world turn to the dazzling lights and new year anticipation here’s a set of techlinks that you’ll never regret aggregating. 

• If you want energy and enthusiasm in software development and a bit of everything else the man is…  Scott Hanselman.  Now, if I can just get him to accept my LinkedIn.com invitation.
• Now, when you broke the web site and the CFO threatens to call the CEO kind of situation, there’s really only one alternative… ‘If broken it is, fix it you should’  Tess Ferrandez in her series of posts on .NET debugging is a virtual, bug finding rock star.
• How many developers could write a meaningful post each and every day for 17 months?  Only one that I know of… Sara Ford.  Unfortunately, nothing lasts for ever and maybe I embellished the each and every day part… there are only 382 posts on how to improve your Visual Studio skills.  The posts eventually culminated in a book, Microsoft Visual Studio Tips: 251 Ways to Improve Your Productivity.

With so many new high quality bloggers the list could go on, but like the last day of 2008 it’s here and this article is done.  Drop the ball and enjoy your party.
