I’m sure you’re familiar with this phenomena: every once in a while you’ll scroll through your iPod with its 10, 20, 80, 160 gigs of music or whatever, and you won’t find anything that sparks you at that moment. 10,000 songs and nothing jumps out at you. Certainly there’s some great stuff in there, but every so often, we all need a wakeup call – something bold and new. Well, that’s me right now, only with blogs. I’m in need of something to snap me out of this little rut I’m in.
Therefore, I’d like to humbly call on the power of this community to throw me a few bones. (Turns out that this is a great 2.0 nod that will benefit us all, and such things have been helpful in the past…) Simply put, I’d love to know what you’re reading online. Photography, art, film, design, music, popular culture, or anything related – it all qualifies. Take 20 seconds and–in the comments section below–please post a link, a review, a name, a sentence, two words, whatever – something, anything about your favorite blog(s), so that I can make your favorite(s) my new favorite(s). You can post anonymously or under your blogger name, no matter. This is not an exercise in pretentiousness or obscurity – everything has merit. I promise to visit each sincere link that gets posted here and I’ll heap lavish amounts of praise (and perhaps a t-shirt and maybe even a pair of shoes 😉 upon whomever turns me onto a new favorite nugget that’s not already in my RSS reader.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Wil Wheaton’s blog
He’s a witty writer, geek, actor, parent, poker player and of course ex-Star Trek most hated character.
His blog is typically fun and funny, with a touch of touching.

Andrew Hetherington’s blog is also worth a read. Has that European lack of pretense that’s always refreshing

Black Star Rising also usually has some interesting takes

If I was to choose only one blog to recommend as a must it would have to be
http://freealbums.blogsome.com/
Free albums. Great music. Unsigned bands and some famous artists. Free: my favourite price.

Here is a short selection of my favorites:
David Pogue’s posts are always fun to read and presenting technology can be a form of entertainment as well:

These are some Photography blogs, I like. Tips from the top floor is mostly on the technical side on things, but fun as it is done by a fellow German in English.

I just like looking at pictures by Jasmine Star. Simply nice pictures, nothing too overdone.

When I discovered Mike Colon’s webpage, I got really inspired by what is possible by just using a camera and a good lens.
