I've just adding another dozen
items to my already bloated blogroll. I'm actually quite discriminating
in what I add, rejecting most of the requests I get to 'reciprocally'
blogroll, and never adding a blog until I've seen at least two
remarkable posts on two different days. There's just a lot of great
writing out there! Here are a few of the blogs I've added this time:
Practical Metaphors - Ryan Fugger finds amazing things on the Internet that no one else seems to find. Check out this
post linking to the provocative short film 'Bullet in the Brain' you
can download (bandwidth permitting). Ryan's another reader of Daniel
Quinn's Ishmael. He's an articulate essayist on how to make the world better, and a contributor to the Blogger's Parliament.
A Relative Path -
Jonathan Broad has a brilliant wit and an ability to succinctly
summarize current events and contemplate their deeper meaning. He's
also a pessimist willing to look at the horrors of our recent history
and discuss what they tell us about human nature, and what we could do
to avoid repeating them.
Bastish - Kevin Cameron's
great photoblog that I neglected to include in my recent post of
favourite photoblogs. The picture above is one of Kevin's. He's
currently living in Japan, which must be a photographer's dream.
Orcinus - Seattle
journalist and liberal A-lister Dave Neiwert doesn't need any publicity
from me, but he's a great writer and covers, prolifically and in
detail, well-referenced and supported, the foibles of the Bush regime.
Globalize This - A
new blog by Adam Hersh, a researcher at the Economic Policy Institute,
has astute observations on economic and trade matters, which are going
to be of crucial importance in the coming months and years. In addition
to explaining economic matters in understandable terms, with a
progressive slant that I of course appreciate, Adam also covers the
work of senior economist and colleague Max Sawicky, whose blog MaxSpeak I've also blogrolled.
And on the business/IT side, I've added Stephen Downes' and David Wilcox's blogs, both of which articulately cover the emerging world of social networking and its role in business and society.
