Blogs I Follow
Eat Our Brains The brain child of Steve Gould.
Chrononaut Log David Moles smart and funny observations. Actually, what I really love about his log is the design, which fills me with envy.
Greg van Eekhout love's squid, as, I dunno, icons. He has a line of t-shirts. Hell, collect the whole set.
Barth Anderson was the coolest guy in his Clarion class. He had wit, he had charm, he had fashion sense, and despite being a white guy, he could dance.
Chris Barzak's Meditations in an Emergency about writing and his beloved Youngstown.
The Erin O'Brien Owner's Manual for Human Beings When Erin started her blog, I realized I was a complete amateur. Erin's blog is rollicking, erotic and terrifically funny. Rated at least R. Sometimes worse.
Musing With Mud A blog on making pottery. There is something in me that is incredibly facsinated and soothed by discussions of craft. Technique will get you through times of no inspiration a helluva lot better than inspiration will get you through times of no technique.
Thumb Drives and Oven Clocks And speaking of technique, Darby was a writing student who is now just a plain writer and it turns turns out that he knows everyone I do. Plus he's funny and he used to sit in my office at John Carroll drinking Mountain Dew.
When Artists Go Bad An artist and writer attempts to deconstruct her new role as the mayonnaise in the Sandwich Generation. That's what it says on the blog. How can you not read that?
Pen in Hand I've known Karen for years, but didn't know that in addition to being a writer and a journalist and a volunteer at the local raptor center, she is also a beautiful illustrator. The most beautiful blog I follow.
Austin Kleon It seems absurd to talk about this blog without including any images, but lets just say it's fun, sharp and graphical.
Ballast For my Gorge Friend and fellow writer Greg Feeley started a blog all his own just to say hello to me in mine which is not only thoughtful, but great because Greg writes better posts than almost anyone I know on a wide range of topics, literary and political.
The Great Whatever Amy Bracken Sparks is one of the most acute and intense poets writing today. Which she doesn't do near enough of because she is so involved in editing and publishing Angle Magazine, a art magazine in Cleveland, and the film work she does.
Not a Journal (Except Now It Is) If this were a blog, it would be about Small Beer and Lady Churchill's Rosebud Wristlet, except it's not a blog. Except it really is.
Angel Station Walter Jon Williams has a blog and he scuba dives, takes pictures doing it, talks about cooking, and about Asian martial arts movies. Ask him to explain Chinese vampires.
A Spork in the Road Beth Adele Long looks at the intersection of technical stuff and creativitity. “Optimism is an occupational hazard of programming, feedback is the treatment.” Beth and I have worked together on some things and she knows this a lot better than I do. And I admire that.

It's snowing here in NJ, too.
One year a spring snow turned all the magnolia blossoms black. I hope this stops soon.
In NYC too, but it's not sticking. Arghh. And I thought spring was here!

Pretty pretty.
All it does in SF is rain and rain and rain. We're sliding into the bay. I miss snow.
We had about a half inch of accumulation in Voorhees this morning. Most of it melted by lunch.
For work, I had to go out in the rain storm (no hat, no gloves) to move between plants in Moorestown, and was driving when the rain turned to snow blowing sideways. It was over in a few minutes.
Has it thawed in Twinsburg yet?
Yeah, it stopped not longer after I posted and by afternoon it was just a sloppy mess. No rain right now.
Poor Bob would really like to get the snow tires off his car and his summer sticky high performance tires on.
Vroom! Vroom!
Ellen -- While it snowed, did you see our yellow sky? That was strange. The only time I've seen yellow skies before was back when growing up during tornado watches.
Love, C.
Constance,
No.. I didn't --or didn't notice. I was in the apt looking out. Wish I had --maybe that's what Bella was staring at and not the weird big snow!
