Today's crap I'm reading: Bookmark'd "blogs."

Oh, the heady days of bookmarks. Here's a decluttered list (believe it or not) of blogs I bookmarked from about 2007 up through, looks like, 2016.

Hack Yourself:

Varieties of Unreligious Experience. This guy may be blogging elsewhere. It was a shame that he stopped this one. Complicated content, pretty specialized, but I enjoyed his prose:

http://vunex.blogspot.com/

Sign and Sight, Eurocentric, which stopped posting in 2012:

http://www.signandsight.com/

Click Opera. One never knew what Momus was going to do next:

Jim Woodring's blog (he's now on FB). Amazing art from "the Dutch uncle of dreamland":

We Make Money, Not Art, a blog that's a crossroads for numerous topics:

https://we-make-money-not-art.com/

Making Light. It's about all kinds of stuff. Both eclectic and well prepared:

Tiki Central, because it's me and cocktails will be served at some point:

Dark Roasted Blend. Hard to tell if the blog is still going, but looks like they may be active on FB. From their about page: "Started in 2005 by Avi Abrams and based in Canada, is dedicated to the ongoing quest for wisdom and beauty, for all things cool and wonderful in our world, featuring the best in art, travel and fascinating technology."

33 1/3. Looks like they've gone through some changes since I bookmarked them in 2012:

ESL Jobs Forum, back when I was looking to teach English as a second language:

Dareland, Michael Dare's blog. Most recent post is from 2017:

Fimoculous. Another person I followed from my first days on Twitter, back in 2007:

http://www.fimoculous.com/

Geeks of Doom. Man, they've been at it for a while. If you're interested in gaming, film, etc., this is your place:

https://www.geeksofdoom.com/

Paul Graham, essayist. Brilliant stuff.

Rock Paper Shotgun for PC gaming:

https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/

John Scalzi's Whatever. This plus Chuck Wendig's blog make up the writer's life raft:

https://whatever.scalzi.com/

Robot Wisdom. I'm hesitant to post this link because this guy took a far-right turn, but he hasn't posted on this blog since 2007, and I've no idea what he's up to now. He used to have interesting ideas before the turn:

Ectoplasmosis. Full of the weird and wonderful, though it looks like their Tumblr died off in 2014:

https://ectoplasmosis.tumblr.com/

Lisa Gold's research blog. Looks like she might've moved to a different venue, but there's lots to dig through here:

https://lisagoldresearch.wordpress.com/

Science 2.0. You know you need this.

https://www.science20.com/

The Bloggess. She's literally saved people's lives by talking about her own problems with depression.

https://thebloggess.com/

I'll let the bloggers themselves describe this one: "Him, an adventurer, CISO, soldier, Marine, law officer, author, professor, spy, yachty, motorcyclist, photographer. Her, was the church lady librarian, got divorced, joined a motorcycle gang, became a hacker, and world adventurer."

Smart Mobs stopped publishing on the blog in 2014, which is too bad unless they've moved elsewhere. They were waaaaay ahead of the times:

Warren Ellis, hierophant. Warren has always been so far ahead of the rest of us that sometimes it sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about, until 5 or 6 years pass and we catch up to him:

Scrum Half Connection. Fuck you, it's rugby.

https://scrumhalfconnection.com/

I have no idea why I bookmarked this. Seriously. I don't do drugs (including weed) and am not about to start.
