Blogrolling
Permit me to draw your attention to a marvellous piece by Red Eft, poet, meditator, mediator, observer of crows, and indefatigable commenter of blogs.
Actually, I've been meaning for quite a while to do a "blogs I read" list, so here we go. These are the hard core, the regulars whom I visit at least every two days, but there are many more blogs that I read irregularly; and I also make extensive use of the Next Blog button. (Confession: many of these offer an RSS feed, so I get the concentrated goodness via NetNewsWire, rather than actually surfing on down.) Yes, it does take up an amazing amount of time.

Samuel Pepys' Diary
Former US President Bill Clinton - can this be true?
Blogcam - a list of blogs that have webcams, with pictures. Fascinating.
Apologies to anyone who feels undeservedly left out. Send me an e-mail and tell me where you fit on the list.

OMG!!!! I'M NORMAL!!!!
Deep thanks, udge!
There used to be a journal called Social Text, I thought it was that. Is that your co.?
BTW, Ada is my daughter.
JaG: yes, other than being Dutch I'd say you are quite normal.
Red: no, SocialText is not my company (wish it was, though: they have invented something really new and worthwhile). I read SocialText as a specific instance of the general reason I spend so much time online: my job as a database programmer is to gather, sort and repackage information. My online time is research, trying to discover what "information" looks like, how to convey the most information with the least resistance.
I think there is a wonderful new way-to-talk-to-each-other being born at the point where Wikis and Blogs meet, and SocialText is among the midwives.
I like the "living real lives" part, but the "normal" makes me uncomfortable. My internal editor wants you to revise the category: "Regular people living real lives"
Putting that quibble aside, I am pleased to be included in your blogroll.
Thanks, udge! I'm going to check out the other bloggers on that list ... I mean, if I'm there the others have to be good (*smirk*)
The Bill Clinton diary is a bit hard to believe in that, if it really is BC, wouldn't he have his own domain?
@
I changed the majority group title, since "certain bloggers" had issues with the word normal. Vox populus, vox deus.
I'll go out on a limb and say, No. No way is that really Bill Clinton.
Real life well described - very cool. Thanks for including me.
