As my life gets slowly consumed by the internet I'm finding that the number of blogs I read (possibly correlated with the number of quality blogs) is on the up. I thought I'd throw the one's I track in my day-to-day in case anyone else is interested. I won't bother with stuff like WIRED, 538 and HuffPo as those are so mainstream now that I would be amazed if the majority here haven't already made a decision on whether they like them or not. I'm more interested in the lower-profile, high-quality stuff that you may or may not have heard of.

Dark Roasted Blend (http://www.darkroastedblend.com) - This one is fun, and has a decently intellectual bent at times. It's just collections of photos, however they are not intended to be necessarily humorous; rather they are intrinsicly interesting.

War is Boring (http://warisboring.com/) - The personal blog of a war correspondant as he covers conflicts around the world. He gives a more intimate and detailed perspective of conflicts than I get from traditional news sources. His coverage of Somalia I found particularly interesting.

Hope you like them, feel free to shamelessly self-promote if you want.

yegolev.com is my favorite blog.  Be sure to use my Amazon link to buy all your product.

The only blog I read is Bad Science (http://www.badscience.net/) - Ben Goldacre writing about abuse of science in the media and industry. Not updated very often but always worth it.

Edit: Oh and a couple of photog blogs, Joe McNally's (http://www.joemcnally.com/blog/) and Chase Jarvis's (http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/), both for industry insights more than anything else.

I've pared down to 89 feeds that I read daily in my reader (and a bunch more that I read weekly or so).

Most are pretty specific to my interests, but some possibly universally interesting ones are:

http://calculatedrisk.blogspot.com/ - Watch the collapse of the economy, with graphs!
http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_now.html - Dwarf Fortress updates, daily
http://www.ecogeek.org/ - Eco-friendly technology news. . mostly alternative energy
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/ - Awesomely written PC gaming coverage
http://www.sciencedaily.com/news/matter_energy/ - News on advances in science that will blow your mind pretty much hourly
http://torrentfreak.com/ - BitTorrent and general media rights news
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation - Yahtzee!

I'd go with The Lawdog Files (http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/index.html) with The Pink Gorilla Suit (http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2008/08/pink-gorilla-suit.html) being one of the funniest damned things I've ever read online.

He's a Texas Sheriff who was originally a Brit. He's got some awesome stories from his childhood, two of which you can find here (http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2008/09/quick-question-2.html).

I would be a whore and post a link to my blog or blog novel, but they are in my sig, so I won't.

The only blog I regularly check:

The Antick Musings of G.B.H. Hornswoggler, Gent. (http://antickmusings.blogspot.com/)

Andrew Wheeler used to be an editor for the Science Fiction Book Club,  and now works for a publisher selling accounting texts ( :awesome_for_real:).  Lots of quick reviews of comics, scifi, fantasy and horror.  Has some great blogs on the publishing industry and the business of publishing. 

This was also where I was redirected to the "Oh John Ringo NO!" stuff,  which provided hours of entertainment.
