talbotlucas.org: a word to the wise is sufficient

OK, so I missed the official BlogDay 2005 (310g kind of looks like the word "blog" if you read the "3" as a B without its spine...). I thought it was a fun idea, sort of, and then the day got away from me, and another, and another...

So here, six days on, are my blog suggestions. The goal was that everyone recommend five new blogs, but my list may be a bit longer because I may have mentioned some of these in the past, and I'm not about to review all the entries in this little monster to find out which ones I have. But there's sort of a theme, because I learned about the first group from reading dooce.com. For your reading pleasure:

dooce: If you haven't read it, or don't read it regularly, pick a subject archive and read it. I look forward to Heather's daily posts and photos--the dooce subscription in my NetNewsWire aggregator is the first one I check in the morning.

Time Goes By: I'm giving this one a try. The impression of blogging is that it's not yet been picked up by the older generation (who is that, really?). Ronni Bennett is 63 and writing about how her life and her impressions of things have changed and are changing.

Blurbomat: aka in some circles as "Mr. Dooce" because he's Heather's (of dooce.com) husband and resident geek/code whiz.

finslippy and Suburban Bliss: Is it possible? I'm not convinced, but like finslippy, a little slice of someone's life. I'm giving these a test run.

And then...

For any of you who followed the Julie/Julia Project and are looking forward to the release of her book, Julie Powell has started a new blog, What Could Happen?, to explore the weirdness of being a published author and finding her way through what's become a new life. Preorder the book from amazon.com. Or march over to your favorite bookseller on or around 28 September, when the book is supposed to be released.

Slashfood: I'm really enjoying the variety, when I can keep up with the rate of posts.

43 Folders: Merlin Mann's thoughts about Getting Things Done (the David Allen system), organizing life and work, and how to make technology work for you. Or not.

SlowFoodLA: Well, it's the web site for our local Slow Food convivium. And Terrence set it up. And I'm the blog mistress, so all those words you see are the result of my fingers flying across the keyboard of my humble but sexy 15" G4 PowerBook.

And last, but not least:

talblog: Because it's Terrence's new code/design/l.a. blog.

I could keep going but I've probably given you too much to chew already...
