As my buddy Brian pointed out to me, today is Blog Day — a once a year event where bloggers are encouraged to share their favorite finds from the blogosphere.
First, I would feel neglectful if I didn’t reference my closest friend’s blogs. In no particular order we’ve got Ryan O’Sullivan’s personal site, Jim Weinhart’s got two now, and Brian has just started a new one. They’ve each got their own flavor, so check them out.
Now, the point of Blog Day is to reference 5 blogs that you’ve discovered that fascinate the crap out of you, so let’s do that.
- Massively — A gaming blog focusing on MMOs. This one is stuffed full of great tips, awesome opinion pieces and breaking news. It’s by far my favorite gaming site at the moment.
- CleanTechnica — As you might guess from the name, CleanTechnica is devoted to news and information about technologies and products that help to reduce humanity’s impact on the environment. There are plenty of “green blogs” out there, but I like CleanTechncia because it has a high quality-to-noise-ratio and, as a geek, I appreciate a peak into the technological breakthroughs happening that sector.
- Smashing Magazine &mash; Great blog for web development nerds. Covers a lot of topics, from design and scripting libraries to blog engines and programming languages.
- Webmonkey — Yes, that Webmonkey. Relaunched a few months ago, Webmonkey has quickly regained a position as one of my top 5 sites to follow for web development info.
- Typesites — I admit it, I’m a typography nerd. That isn’t to say I’m all that talented at it, but it’s one of those topics that fascinate the hell out of me. Typesites is one of the best blogs I’ve come across that discusses the issue in relation to the web.
I’d also like to give a shout out to Jake and Amir, Tiki Bar TV and Garrett Murray’s Qwick Reviews for consistently make me giggle.
