I've been meaning to do this forever. Here is a list of blogs I read regularly.
Every weekday starts with checking Gawker.com : "the source for daily Manhattan media news and gossip" and Defamer.com which covers L.A. movie biz news and gossip.
My other daily read is: Dooce who is a ruthlessly honest 30-something woman who writes about motherhood, poop, depression and life in Utah and rarely fails to be HILARIOUS. If nothing else read this item.
Also on the daily list is Indianz.com which consolidates news and government actions in Indian Country and is excellent for keeping us in the loop at the office.
My other two favorite daily reads are: Kottke.org and Boingboing.net. These sites consolidate a variety of fun Internet stuff, odd sites, and also Internet culture and happenings. I never fail to find something cool at either of these sites.
Some other sites checked regularly but not necessarily daily are: Fussy.org another funny Mom and yoga person; belle de jour diary of a London Call girl; Go Fug Yourself a deliciously mean-spirited fashion commentary site; Mobylives.com news and commentary on books and writers.
Finally, I'll link to 43 folders site which is about being organized and you'd think it would turn me on but instead I find it creepy and terrifying.
That should keep you busy if I'm away for a few days.
