Tree Surfing

Here’s a listing of all the blogs that I read on a regular basis. It may seem like a lot, but I use an RSS reader so it easily cuts my reading time in half.

This listing has long been in the works, I decided to the best way to do it would be to just publish what I have so far and continue to add to it as my time allows.
In no particular order:

Art & Letters Daily
New material is added to Arts & Letters Daily six days a week, not as often as Boing Boing, but considering that the articles are much longer, and more academic in nature this is to be expected. It also contains a large number of links to other interesting site in it’s sidebar. This site is not for those with muddy brains, if you can’t think straight (tired, suffering from a hangover, loopy, bored, really hungry, or just plain stupid,) this site is not for you. It’s not a site designed for casual browsing, come only when you have the time to read.

Boing Boing
This site is so popular it hardly needs an explanation from me. However, for those of you who have yet to bathe yourself in it glorious rays of internet curiosities: you should go visit this site now.

Diary of the Mad Pigeon
I really love this site. There are several different authors who contribute content at their leisure, but you’ll almost alway find yourself amused or enlightened by the writing on this blog. Social commentary abounds, romping hand in hand with observations from about the military life and the wonderful sarcasm. A refreshing rain of humor on to brighten any day

Pierian Gadfly
Apart from the interesting name this is a site for those interested in poetry. Not updated as often as I’d like, but still a good place to stop by and visit. (Leave comments encouraging more posts!) Official description: An opportunity to ponder the state of poetry in modern American culture coupled with thoughts on rescuing the art from the “Academy” and returning it to the public square. If that perks your interest feel free to stop by for a visit.

Right on the Left Coast
The blog of a conservative teacher living in California. Topics generally revolve around education and politics although he occasionally posts on other things when he’s in the mood. Good writing interesting conversations.

The Blog Herald
Important news and information from the blogsphere. This is a site you should keep a eye on if you’re interested in what’s happening in the blogging world.

Fred on Something
Another greatly under-appreciated site. The author is responsible for at least two wonderful blogger tools: King Ping and Talk Digger. English is not his native language, which makes his site even more amazing: He writes better than most Americans!

Zazzafooky
Hilarious on her good days and generally amusing on her worst. The blog of an interesting, introverted woman.

Slactivist
One of the main topics is the ongoing review of the horribly written Left Behind series. Look no further for a “how not to write” guide. Like the rest of the blogging world he also writes about other things. Almost always has some good points for you consideration.

LifeHack
A great blog with tips on how to organize and otherwise make your life more productive and efficient. You’ll also find information on health related topics along with the occasional news curiosity. Defiantly a blog to browse.

Gone Away
The blog of a jolly British fellow who has moved to America. This blog tells the tale of his journey and all of the insights that have come since then. It’s a really interesting read, and he writes wonderfully. Do take some time and have a look at this wonderful site.

Octavo Dia
One of my old college acquaintances, he writes his opinion on various political and social topics. Another interesting writer with some truly unique views on topics one doesn’t think about on a regular basis. Worth a look.

Hamlette’s Soliloquy
A interesting gal, married to the writer of the previously mentioned blog. She and I were active members of the Writer’s Group during our college years so naturally we got along quite well. A blog of thoughts, musings, stories, and the occasional fan fiction; there’s something of interest here for everyone.
