Flying Home, Fighting Five Year Olds

By

I’m flying to the UK today, so blogging will be erratic for the next two weeks. What better time to recommend a few of my favorite reads?

For some excellent –if caustic– comment give Heather Armstrong a try at Dooce. She just won four awards at this years Bloggies and is one of the best bloggers I have ever read.

For Brit wit of the highest caliber (I know, I know, “it’s calibRE”, but I’m still in NY — as of tomorrow I revert back to “RE”) try Blognor Regis.

Complete Tosh and Clive Davis are both entertaining and extremely informative (this isn’t meant to be a hard sell — try them, I guarantee you will go back for more).

I don’t neccessarily agree with what they say, but I do enjoy Biased BBC.

I do agree with and I thoroughly enjoy my local blog Daily Heights.

And I think much more attention should be paid to my blogging friend Anguswit.

That should be more than enough to be going on with, except to say that I think blogging has reached an all-time low here and here, with two discussions on how long an adult can survive in unarmed combat with a roomful of five year olds.
