No, I don’t mean to talk to you about yet another strange musical endorsement (some geeks who used The Playground of the Baby Giants and Dinosaur as backdrops to software tutorials, and who massacred the songs through seemingly random editing).
I’m talking about something else.
I just got a special (and somewhat incestuous) You Make My Life award from frogblog.
It’s all part of some chain-letter type thing where you pick five blogs that you like and link to them and comment on them and on and on. Frogblog has the details.
I tend to break chain letters, hence the special award that I received, that lets me off the hook.
I know. I’m such a poo!
I also don’t read many personal blogs. I slurp up tons of stuff into my Google Reader, stuff which falls into three broad categories: the arts (fine arts, music, design), news (French & US), and techy-geeky stuff (Mac sites, iPhone sites, general tech & science sites etc…)
In fact, I’ve just looked through my Google Reader subscriptions and wouldn’t you know it, nary a blog. But if I had to pick a couple, I’d choose Smashing Magazine, which straddles the design and the tech categories and regularly blows my mind with the quantity of quality links that I don’t have the time to visit, Daring Fireball, Mac+tech pundidtry at its finest, and of course, frogblog which is delightful in so many ways: beautifully written, witty, funny, touching, smart, thought provoking and activist.
