Blogs I Read

So actually, I've been a member of Blogger since about 1999 or so, under one guise or another. One of my first blogs was a team blog called "Letting the Thunder Pass". Way back then, I didn't maintain the blog, only a post once a month or so. Oh, how little was I aware of the fervent popularity blogging would gain. Ah, well. I guess that's why I never invested in Microsoft, either:-)

Of late, I have been reading many blogs regularly. Some are people I know, some are just very popular blogs that everybody reads, and others are "friends" whom I've met through blogging.

The blogging friends whose blogs I read:

• Life's Little Things, which is about, well, life's little things - a career woman, mother, wife, mom-of-kittens. And I think I'm busy.
• Neilans chronicles the activities, insights and activism of an active woman (who just happens to be Brian's mom!)
• Once Again With Feeling - one of my very very best friends, who talks about his challenges and successes, both in his marathons and his life; inspiring and intelligent.
• Alyssa in Japan speaks for itself, and her photos really are worth a thousand words.

Bloggers I've met through blogging:

• Mr. Hassle's Underpants, by Doc Shazam - the blog of a heroically hectic medical intern (female, I might add!) who also does some awesome mountain biking around Colorado.
• Street Philosopher - A university student (19 years old), who, I think, thinks more and more often than I ever did. And, yes, he enjoys mountain biking. More power to him.

Popular blogs:

• Boing Boing (hey, everybody reads that!)
• Random Acts of Reality - an ambulance attendant in London - intelligent and brief posts about the joys and miseries of saving the lives of drunks, heroin addicts and little old ladies. Sensitive and life affirming.
• Small Dead Animals -An opinionated Canadian. Finally! I knew there was another one!!

Well - that's it for now. Tune in tomorrow when I list the poets I read:-)
