Favorite Non-Knitting Blogs and Websites?

Lounge

The Google reader thread got me thinking about the blogs and such that i read now that are non-knitting related and I started wondering what great funny and informative blogs or websites you all love that I may be missing.

www.postsecret.blogspot.com I check every sunday!
www.VergeNewMedia.com is written by an NBC cameraman and has very cool behind the scenes blogging.
http://melissamaples.com/ Girl living in Turkey… thoughtful and often quite funny.
http://www.mistershades.co.uk/ guy from scotland who won my heart when i got a mention in his blog for telling him to stop killing kittens! :wink:
http://www.beachwalks.tv/ Woman video blogs from Hawaii almost daily. If nothing else worth watching just for the scenery
http://blogs.chron.com/beltwayconfidential/ White House journalist who blogs in a somewhat snarky manner. Kind of feels like we are getting inside look of DC from her. Fun!

OOOH and these are a couple of my favorite blogs that coordinate with a couple of my favorite podcasts.

I can NOT believe i forgot to tell you about this one. I LOVE this blog. He can be a little bit vulgar in his language so don’t say I didn’t warn you. I often laugh so hard at his posts that I cry though.

If you like dadgonemad you will probably like her… I saw his through a link on her blog… to me – she is freakin’ hilarious, but sometime along the more honesty than some people can stand side (cussing, etc.). Probably not for the faint of heart…

Non-knitting highlights in my feed:

Cyanide & Happiness webcomic (just one of many I read, but the only one in Google Reader.)
Geoffrey Chaucer Hath a Blog (Be fore-warned: This one’s in Middle English.)

Three of the best written/funniest blogs on the 'net
Psycokitty - Yes, it’s written by a cat
Bitchypoo - How can you not read a blog called Bitchypoo? As evidence that she is indeed hilarious, please read her post, The Frog.
Vituperation - Bitchypoo’s husband, Fred

She is funny, down to earth, and her photography is [U][B]amazing[/B][/U]. [U][B]:inlove:[/B][/U]

She also recently began a cooking blog to share her yummy recipes.

Be warned, they are [I][B]not[/B][/I] low-fat. :shock: They are yummy, though.

I’ve made about three of her dishes. She has close-up, step-by-step colorful photos with each recipe, and she’s funny there, too. :lol:

I read Neil Gaiman too. :heart: I tend to go for funny stuff so I also read:

Dooce
Say No to Crack
Random Good Stuff <- Great for boredom busters.
Gorilla Sushi
bobbarama dot com
My Boyfriend is a Twat
xkcd <- My favourite geeky web comic
Savage Chickens <- Another web comic

There are lots more but these are just some I can remember off the top of my head. :happydancing:
