If you need a fix with the latest in the tabloids, check it out!We are the Lewis and Clark of keeping it real, since our radio show began in 2002. Since the world refuses to recognize our talents, we are forced to relegate our shining intellects to that sellout sludge of all publication, that dungeon of unrecognized writing potential, that drain of all aspiring writers who just didn't quite make it, that kingdom of armchair philosophers who have the unmitigating gall to think that someone actually wants to read what they write, the Internet. Of course we skewer celebrities and the real holders of the coolness sceptres, perhaps out of jealousy, but they deserve what they get because we are unflappably honest and blunt. So A-listers through D-listers, and really, the world at large, beware.

Answer Girl - Ellen Clair Lamb
The theme of this blog is "Terms of Art." Every day, I'll take a word or phrase of jargon from a specialized discipline and explain how you, too, can use it to pretend you have arcane knowledge. Feel free to suggest terms of art from your own professions or hobbies by e-mailing me.
What to know about:
Brix
Peristalsis
Hang Time
Stripper
No, not the one you're thinking of!

Presto Speaks - Shelly
Addicted? And I thought I had a few blogs. Try this, Shelly is writing on 9 Blogger blogs in addition to a couple of LiveJournal and AOL pages!
There must be something here that will hook you.
Cyber Chocolate is her main blog.
The Write Stuff is her blog on writing.
Retro-Spectives is her blog for reminiscences.
The Malt Shop is her blog for memes.
Creative Endeavors is her photo blog.
Shelly's Book Shelf is her book review blog.
Shelly's Comic Book Shelf is her blog on comic books.
Impish Delights is her blog on what she is reading.
Alternate Reality is her blog on science stuff.
ImPress Books is yet another web site.
Now, is this the sign of a split personality?
or addiction to blogging?
or just one more indication that Blogger should add categories?
Enjoy reading Shelly!

being jennifer garrett
She says in her about page:
She has also set upon a quest to blog 100 blogs in 100 days. Good luck!Who is Jennifer Garrett?
Jennifer Garrett is not Jennifer Garner. She is also not Jennifer Eccleston. She is not a research associate. She is not an artist. She is not an actress. She is a writer and editor who lives in Jamaica Plain, a lovely neighborhood of Boston.
The Hitchhikers are not intending to compete. We started before Jen, so it does not count.
But we do get to count her as 148!
And maybe if she finds us, she can count us as something less than 100!
Read Jen Garrett and find out!

Long Tail - Chris Anderson
You can read more in his posting Long Tail 101 or in the wikipedia entry.The theory of the Long Tail is that our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and markets) at the head of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail. As the costs of production and distribution fall, especially online, there is now less need to lump products and consumers into one-size-fits-all containers. In an era without the constraints of physical shelf space and other bottlenecks of distribution, narrowly-target goods and services can be as economically attractive as mainstream fare.
Most of us normal blogger folks here in the wacky wide wonderful world of the blogosphere are "long tailers".
Long live the long tailers!

memoria technica - Gary Turner
He collects "unfamous quotations".Gary Turner lives one hour north out of London in Northampton, England, with his wife and daughter and when pushed, he describes himself as a passionate technologist and a part-time hyperopic visionary.
He started "blog stickers".
If I continued with all that he does, this post would go on for a good deal more. So let's just call it for now and leave you plenty to explore on your own.

Tomorrow Connecting
Their first post gets into the details as follows:
TomorrowConnecting is a blog about HyperTechnologies - blogs, wikis, rss etc. I’ve set up this blog in a couple hours using Wordpress as the blog software, Feedburner as our feed manager, and some additional plug-ins which allow us to monitor traffic and let people subscribe to comments via email. All of the things are Open Source (feedburner is just free).
I have been following this group since I found them in May and I like what I read.
Add them to your reader!
I trust you will like them.
