10. I really am thinking of
adding some to my next coop order. I think they'd be very happy in our pallet composter.

I really do love that you two are making such an effort to do everything you are. Very cool.

13. We're having fun doing it
I wish we had the money to do more, and to do it "better," but we're trying.

We are trying to think that way as much as possible, now. For example, we went to IKEA today and bought a cutting board, and made sure it was the more expensive bamboo one. So, we didn't get a plastic/resin one, and we got a wooden one made from a s, but I think a bit better.stainable crop.

Haruka likes their coffee, and they're selling it whole bean now. All their coffee is UTZ Certified, which is basically Fair Trade.

21. We don't have a lot of money to
do it "better", either, but what we find is the fun and satisfaction that comes with figuring out a way to make it work without buying just the right equipment or whatever. It's kinda fun to outsmart the system. LOL

3. I read mostly graphic and web design blogs.
http://www.sixrevisions.com is probably my favourite.

I haven't updated mine in ages because I suck. I've actually written first drafts and such for it, but have been too preoccupied with other things to really update. I am a crappy blogger. (It's in my sig line.)

5. Margaret and Helen
I wish I was able to write this well now and I'm not in my 80's like these two. (Helen does most of the writing)

11. A second endorsement for Sniffa's.
It's good, in a "holy shit I know people like that" kind of way.

Phil Plait's "Bad Astronomy" blog is fun, not that I know a whole lot about astronomy. It has a lot of pretty pictures and stuff: http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/

Baseball Prospectus: Unfiltered is a great baseball blog. Very informative, very well written: http://baseballprospectus.com/unfiltered/

Jonathan Turley's blog is always well worth reading, if you don't already: http://jonathanturley.org/

And, Largehearted Boy, my favorite music blog: http://www.largeheartedboy.com

15. I think both of my blogs are linked in my sig...
that shows you how much I pay attention to my own sig. lol

Neither has been updated in a looooong time, though. Too much stuff going on that I don't want to make public all over the place. (One blog is real-life stuff, the other is fiction writing.)

Whether these blogs are any good is, of course, subject to opinion.

17. It's called "Not Even Wrong" and it is about Superstring Theory
Edited on Sat Apr-18-09 06:19 PM by Mike 03
A mathmetician named Peter Woit has had this blog for at least five years, I would guess. He went on to write a book by the same name about the entire Superstring controversy.

I'm fascinated by String Theory, and his blog is courageous enough to question whether or not it is legitimate. It also inspired me to delve more deeply into String Theory and attempt (not always successfully) to read the textbooks that physics students read when pursuing careers in String Theory.

It's a courageous, controversial blog and you get to see how physicists (sometimes famous ones) behave towards each other when they think nobody else is looking.

EDIT:

Duh, sorry.

The link:
