I have a “Blogs you should see” list over there, and I don’t link lightly, so let me tell you why you should…

Suspect Device, by Greg Peters: Great insight on politics, especially in Louisiana…wish I understood half of the Louisiana stuff, but the rest more than makes up for my occasional lack of context. He’s also a published political cartoonist, with archives on the site.

Zompist’s Rant Page, by Mark Rosenfelder: insists it’s not a blog, but eh, we kids know better. Insightful and well-researched views on a number of topics that make you realize there’s a lot of stuff you don’t know. I fear the day the link to the current page changes (great linking strategy you have there, Mark, geez).

Slumbering Lungfish, by Lore Sjöberg: has great bits in itself, but also provides updates on much of the sprawling Sjöberg entertainment empire. I asked him to count his domains, once. I think he said he owns 31, at last count. And here I felt obnoxious for my…um, 8 or so.

The Daily WTF: the only blog currently in that list by someone I don’t know personally. I love tech screwup stories by horrified geeks. Depending on your tech level, some percentage of them will go over your head, but they have a thriving community and there’s always someone who says “I don’t get it”…if you’re interested enough to work it out, there’s probably an explanation.

Geekbloggings, by Joe: a surprising amount of text and insight on various events of to-day. I talk to Joe frequently during the day in IRC, and he rarely ever mentions his blog, which is just surprising because God knows I do. Joe also apparently holds out on some good links, because I am surprised to find stuff in his blog that he doesn’t mention in channel. What the hell, Joe, your blog’s too good for us?

Eau de SeanQ, by SeanQ: I dunno, something about sports and coin collecting and some other stuff. He’s a friend, I felt obligated.
