Pensito Review celebrated its fifth anniversary on January 28. Thanks to all our readers.

Be sure to check out Trish’s post about Walkscore.com from last night. I happened upon a similarly interesting site this morning, ZIPSkinny.com, which slices and dices demographic information based on ZIP codes.

This week Al Neuharth is celebrating USA Today’s quarter-century of turning trees into the intellectual lowest common denominator.

First, I was poking around on the Internets yesterday and happened upon a link back to an article from Pensito Review on the website for Barbra Streisand.
