I don't lightly link blogs to mine. They have to demonstrate versatility and intelligence, seasoned with humor. I skim through about a dozen blogs a day -- hey, I'm a fast reader, it's a gift -- but only make a link about once a month.
Currently, the two most active blogs on my daily read list are chasemarch and ilovesquishingants. The former is a teacher who not only blogs about that subject, but also about his love of hip hop and other cultural phenomena. The latter is a student of biology, genetics and such, and She blogs about life, love, science, religion and a dozen other subjects.
The blog world can be at times a desert of dullness -- endless baby photos, emo whinings and celebrity gossip. In the blowing sand, the gems are sometimes obscured.
So here's a suggestion to any and all of my readers. Check these two blogs out and add your thoughts to their conversations. Help to abolish unjustified obscurity.
We'll all go away enriched.

A shameless plug

Thanks for the plug. I appreciate it.
My pleasure. As a fellow writer, nothing is more frustrating than a carefully worded piece of writing, whether a column, a short story or a blog entry, that goes unread.
The more links of communication between people around the world, the less likely we'll be to accept stereotypes or to support blowing up their homes.
