Recommended diaries since May 1, 2005

Responding to Chamonix's question about what's been happening here lately, and in the screen scraping spirit of the 17-best-comments guy, here (below the fold) is a list of all the recommended diaries since the beginning of this month, as found by scanning the lists at the tops of the open threads in reverse chronological order. Each story link appears just once even if it stayed in the recommended lists across several open threads.

If this is of enough interest I may do a fancier version sometime. Of course building it into Scoop itself would be even better.
