I've only been reading blogs for a short time. Less than a year has gone by since getting my Google Reader and starting this little missive. I like reading most blogs, and I have a hard time not clicking the RSS feed button, so naturally there tends to be a LOT to read after a nice weekend away from the computer.
Yes, I know I should have been working over the weekend. What can I say? It was necessary to get away. The drawings will get done either today or tomorrow.
Anyway, I was just reading 4 days worth of Ed Tseng's blog. I can't say enough good stuff about Ed and his daily motivational messages. Anyone who needs a pick-me-up should tune in.
Likewise, Steve Smolinsky's Conversation on Networking is awesome. He provides that extra little push on business days.
When I'm in the mood for something different, I check out The Geek Whisperer by David Spira. His reviews of various things that I know nothing about are not only entertaining but also enlightening.
These are in addition to the myriad of architecture and design blogs (currently there are 9 of them) that I have followed lo these many months. I can't really keep up with all of them, but I also can't bear to part with the ones I have left.
I also have a hard time deleting friends I don't really know on Facebook.
The only problem I have been pondering with respect to all of these blogs is that perhaps the architecture and design is too big a slice of the pie. Wouldn't it be better to branch out and connect with more DIFFERENT types of people. I think this idea popped into my head after reading the 2 or 3 pages of a book that one of the aforementioned architects posted a blog reply to. The author of the book said all her friends were architects! Don't get me wrong, I love hanging out with architects. It's just hard to sell yourself as an "architectural designer" when you're always hanging around other architects.
So who else should I be following?
