You follow any cool blogs?

[O'Dib]

I just added the google reader widget to my igoogle, and wanna have more kick-ass things to read in there. So far I'm following:

http://sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/

It's pretty hilarious. The English guy's wife jots down the crazy inappropriate things he says in sleep, and sometimes even records him.

and:

http://experimentaltheology.blogspot.com/

A psychologist's musings about how to apply religion to every-day life in a completely non-insane way!

How about you guys, recommendations?

Most of the blogs I follow are either friends/family, or ones I need to keep up with for professional development. I won't inflict those ones on you, since I'm probably the only person who reads about legal theory for fun.

However, I just discovered a humorous blog. http://copnattitude.blogspot.com/ It's the blog of a cop somewhere in the U.S. (He doesn't disclose his location, but I have my suspicions.) Half the time, I'm laughing at the stupid antics criminals pull, and half the time I'm shaking my head wondering how this guy ended up with a badge and a gun.

I really like MightyGodKing. It's got comics\pop culture stuff, and some great humour writing as well.

I don't follow many blogs, but I have recently subscribed to these ones on RSS:

http://bootiemashup.com/blog/
- the blog of mashup duo A plus D

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/markkermode/
Kermode Uncut - the video blog of BBC Two and Five Live's resident film critic Mark Kermode.

I don't really "follow" it, but i do read it when i can: Wil Wheaton's blog. It's the only one i have saved in my favorites anyway. I love his sense of humor and it just kills me that the guy is all grown up, has a wife and kids and survived child stardom.

Don't be a dick*. Read his blog.

Oh yeah, that is a cool blog to follow, and he really is a nice guy! He's very respectful to everyone.

 

[Kestra]

He's one of my very good friends in RL. I don't agree with him on everything, but it's a pretty good blog.

You may have told me that before and my terrible, terrible memory has simply let it slip. Ah well, bookmarking!

I'm in!

I really like MightyGodKing. It's got comics\pop culture stuff, and some great humour writing as well.

Some cool shit on there. I just don't get the dance blogs.

I just discovered a humorous blog. http://copnattitude.blogspot.com/ It's the blog of a cop somewhere in the U.S. (He doesn't disclose his location, but I have my suspicions.) Half the time, I'm laughing at the stupid antics criminals pull, and half the time I'm shaking my head wondering how this guy ended up with a badge and a gun.

Where do you reckon he operates? I've read one so far, fascinating. I picture him sporting an Axe Cop look http://www.axecop.com/ (highly recommended web comic, y'all)

The experimental theology one I linked to just put up a video of an atheist giving a lecture about how science should take a stand on absolute truth when it comes to morality. Very interesting stuff. http://experimentaltheology.blogspot.com/2010/03/sam-harris-on-factvalue-split-can.html

 

[jamestyler]

I think I'll add a few more to my Google Reader

Marty Michaels has some good stuff on his blog. He only started it as he was starting fights on his social networking site blog and has a great love and understanding for classic and cult movies.

I put a few others up here - though two of them are forum members...

 

[scottydog]

I follow several leadership blogs. There are quite a few good ones at http://kevineikenberry.com/surveys/best_blogs_09.asp

Plus I have a blog offering commentary on today's heroes. With Easter coming up, I just posted a piece on Jesus -- http://blog.richmond.edu/heroes

At first I suspected the midwest, but after reading the whole blog, I'm leaning toward somewhere in the southeast, probably southern Virginia or one of the Carolinas. He mentioned a snowstorm in February, and some of the racially tinged remarks are quite reminiscent of things people said when I lived in Virginia and North Carolina. Once I have a chance to do some legal research, I can narrow it down better. He said that his state is one of the few that outlaws radar detectors, so if I can figure out which states outlaw them, that will give me more info. (I'm in law school, so I love having practical legal research problems to sharpen my skills.)

^ I think North Carolina and Virgina both outlaw them.


As for me, I follow quite a few but not many that would interest anyone. Most of them are either Gay News, Gay Politics, Fashion/Model Photography, Entertainment, Art or Theater. I am also addicted to something called "blind item" celebrity gossip so I frequent several of those too.

And of course I visit several Trek/Special Effects blogs that some of you might find interesting. They are:

http://blog.darendoc.com/
http://johneaves.wordpress.com/
http://sovereignreplicas.com/

And like many of you, I also visit Doug Drexler's blog, which I can not recommend enough. Thanks to a mutual friend pointing me there, I was one of the first to visit and post when he started it over a year ago. Unfortunately his schedule only allows him to post once a month these days. I miss my weekly dose of Doug. The man started out as a fan and really knows what other fans want to know and see. Plus he is also knee deep in the world of BSG now so his blog has been a constant source of goodness and awesome!

The only blog I follow with any sort of regularity at the moment is Bad Astronomy.
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/

 

[AstroSmurf]

That one is a favorite of mine too! (I completely missed it when I was going through my blog bookmark folder.) I spent hours looking over the images he posted of Phobos and the Martian avalanches.
