A thread wherein we share blogs

[K9]

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 - 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 - 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.

The only blog I read is Bad Science - 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 and Chase Jarvis's, 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:

I'd go with The Lawdog Files with The Pink Gorilla Suit 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.

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.

Andrew Wheeler used to be an editor for the Science Fiction Book Club,  and now works for a publisher selling accounting texts ( ).  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.
