The best lesbian comic ever, hands-down. (It's not like I did a review or anything. That's just the facts. I guess Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist could give her a run for the money though.)

An anthology of brilliant comics.

foldedspace.org

Goats: the comic strip
Like Star Wars on acid, this used to be a comic about two guys in a pub, but now it's about power-hungry devil chickens, two typewriting monkeys, a programmer who ate God and is now humanity's only hope.....it's really funny but you have to understand at least some of the continuity. I love to read this one.

Gone With the Blastwave
I keep waiting for this strip to come back from hiatus. It's a bizarre story of a troop of soldiers lost in an unknown city. They mostly spend their time playing pranks on each other.

very small array

Museum of Dust
Dream Tree
Blue Tea
These three blogs are part of a new breed of "fantasy" sites that I would group with Robyn Miller's site Tinselman. They collect interesting objects that gradually form a choerent world. Interesting to read.

"Awesome!" A Blog.
Chris Onstad, the writer of Achewood. Some of the only food writing I've ever enjoyed, and definitely the only golf writing.

A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible
I reviewed A Lesson is Learned recently for the SP blog.
Alien Loves Predator
Awesome comic about a Predator and an Alien who live together in an apartment in NY. It reminds me of Mad About You, but only because it's shot on location--the two guys are action figures and they really do live in a NY apartment and walk around on the street and stuff.

Analog Giant
One of the music blogs I try to follow, AG is focused on hip-hop and some indie-rock.

apophenia (danah boyd)

A site for boingboing to promote inexpensive digital media. Cool idea.

Enter at your own risk
The humoristic blog of a fat and lonely guy named Socratic. Almost too bitter, Socratic is also one of the funnier bloggers I have read.

Misanthropic Rants with an extra Side of Stupid: $2.99
Sgtred is another awesome soul, a rollerderby artist in Detroit. Snarky and good links abound.

My Boring Ass Life

True Films
Kevin Kelly is a great blogger and this is his blog about documentaries.

No Smoking in the Skull Cave
Movies, pop culture and more, including some nudity.
The Lazy Way to Success

Fellow Lost Boy reminisces about growing up in the 70s and 80s.

Beyond the Beyond
The blog of Bruce Sterling, cyberpunk pioneer and futurist.

New World Notes
The banner site of James Wagner Au, probably the foremost Second Life journalist. There's some really great stuff happening on this front.

Second Tense
Another blog devoted to the future of Second Life and the Metaverse.

Utne.com
A publishing empire, Utne focuses on journalistic storytelling.
Peromyscus
Lyle Hopwood's bio lists her interests as
She's also listed herself as a fellow biotech sector employee (presumably she's not faking it).

k-punk
I think this blog is dedicated to socialist politics or theory. I'm not sure why it's on my roll though.

Benjamin Rosenbaum
Ben wrote two of my favorite stories this year, both online and both approved for use by scientists. "Start the Clock" is set in a future where a disease froze the development of every child on Earth, resulting in a Lost Boys society where your unchanging age basically determines your species. "The House Beyond your Sky" is a post-Singularity story where a lonely man in a house in the featureless void of space is visited by a strange child. They're both mind-bending and crazy good. His blog is more prosaic, though.

Strange Horizons Podcast
Another feed for Strange Horizons, supposeduly for the podcast, but I'm not sure how well it works.

Strange Horizons

dork magazine.
dork is a magazine about fashion, culture, and other junk in NYC, not written by dorks. it would have virtually no value for pure dorks so the name is a misnomer. These kids try too hard to be "cool" but they still make a good website.

Da Vinci Automata
Steampunk and clockpunk. A+.
New Urban Legends - Recent updates on snopes. I thought this might have some practicality but it might be time to put this one on probation.

I have no journal - This appears to be a foodie's LiveJournal, I'm deleting it.
My blogroll contains, at last count, 290 blogs. Some of them I have probably never read. This is an attempt to catalogue them all, and separate the wheat from the chaff.
