my blogs
I read alot of blogs. My taste fluctuates month to month mostly because I loose interest or the blog changes. Here are the top five blogs I read right now and why I read them . . .
- Seth Godin's Blog - I read this guys book Unleashing the Idea Virus. What a great book on how to develop ideas that catch on and spread like bird flu. I dug this guy's style and his ideas were brilliant. He promoted his web site in the book and so, naturally, I started reading his blog. His blog is devoted to tracking the internet for viral ideas and marketing hype. The guy is a sharp guy and worth a read.
- [ daily dose of imagery ] - A great photo blog from Sam Javanrouh in Toronto. I dig photo blogs for two reasons - my tiny mind is effortlessly overjoyed by beautiful and creative images and I get a kick of seeing how other people see the world through these images. Sam's photo blog more than satisfies both with daily snaps of what he experiences. Check it out.
- 43 Folders - This is a new addition to my favs. This fills two gaps for me, how to organize yourself using the principles of Getting Things Done author David Allen and, most importantly, how to do it on your Mac. Lots of suggestions on practices, methods and tools and all from a Mac-geek perspective.
- The Apple Blog - This is also a new addition to the blogs I read and a new blog to the Apple community. The thing that is the best is the personal nature of this blog. It's like I'm hearing all the news from one of my friends when I read it. It has loads of great new info about Apple and it's done pretty tastefully without all the overbearing ads. Fingers crossed that it'll stay that way.
- The Christian Science Monitor - I was required to read this during one of my international relations courses at university. It is by far the best source of international news that is available. Most are turned off by the religious suggestion in the name, but it only has one small article in each issue discussing religion. Take a sec and read it, you'll see what I mean.
