Part of the fun in writing for Neatorama is all the blogs I get to visit in search for posts. In three years of editing this blog, I've looked at and bookmarked quite a bit of blogs - but call it blogging fatigue, time-crunch or whatever, I realize that I've actually been regularly visiting only a small fraction of them. And I've come to realize how much I miss discovering new gems on the Web.
So, in the spirit of renewal, I'd like to ask you to introduce you and your blog: what it is all about and why we should all visit. I promise to visit (often if your blog is good!) ... and who knows, you'll probably see your blog featured on Neatorama!
Update 7/28/08 - Wow! That's great, you guys! It'll take me a while to go visit everybody's blogs but I definitely will. Please keep 'em coming (yes, shameless plugs are all right in this post). I noticed that some comments are caught by Neatorama's spam filters (Akismet and our secondary filter) - if your comment doesn't appear in several hours, please email me and I'll manually add your blogs to the ever-growing list.

It's called plinx because my name is Paul and they're my links. It was a working title that has stuck.
Enjoy!

The interesting thing this month, is that we are having a contest for a free carved sign!
I enjoy photography. My blog is a document of the lifestyle in NZ. Mostly food and wine, interesting events, discoveries of funnies, and my obsession of my cat, Monty. She actually plays fetch: http://weblog.xanga.com/n0n_sequ1tur/667935699/monty-fetches.html
Mandelrot: (http://mandelrot.com) is the main page, interesting things from Internet or RealWorld.
El Lado Malo ("the naughty side"): (http://elladomalo.com) here are those things I can't publish in a serious magazine :-p
Thanks for this great idea!
I started http://www.teamteabag.com last November as a hardcore gaming type site, but quickly lost interest in that and now we tend to cover random geeky stuff we find all over the internet (there are 5 of us regularly contributing).
If you like the kind of random stuff you see on Neatorama, Boing Boing, Technabob etc. then you'd probably like the kind of stuff that we cover!
I tend to offend both Christians and non-Christians with my views, but I mostly want people to think and see things from the other perspective.

But in spanish :|
The blog is basically a place for me to record and share all the stuff I find on the web that I find interesting. From neat gadgets to stunning photography to amazingly useful websites to interesting videos, a little of it all really. I do find a lot of amazing things on a regular basis.
I must admit a lot of the best stuff I find I usually find here at Neatorama.com. This site is my first, middle and last stop on my daily rounds.
My internet life would be a lot less bright without Neatorama in my day.

Very difficult to explain - has to be read to fully understand

Usually i post neatorama posts, translating to spanish amd writing the original adress (trackback to Neatorama). Sorry for my english.
And, of course, thanks and congratulations for your work!!!!!!
It likes to swear and love in equal measure. Don't we all?

is just sort of a journal where I talk about my day-to-day mundane stuff, and review movies/tv shows/albums/concerts/books/etc. that I've seen/heard/read. Some cool links (which I mostly steal from Neatorama) are usually thrown in for good measure.
Also, I'm attempting to take one picture every day for a year, to see if my photography improves and as something (sort of) challenging to do. You can see my daily picture at

Thanks for the opportunity to give myself a free plug!
All about the most beautiful women in the world from the past half century.
See how the standards of universal beauty has changed over the decades.
The title is "La esperanza sigue en los proles". The translation could be something like "If there is hope, it still lies in the proles". It a reference to Orwell's 1984.
I write about different topics.
In the sidebar I use to post curious stuff, usually from neatorama.
It's a collection of the most interesting news stories, updated daily!

My blog is www.runonemotion.blogspot.com and I usually post things that I find across the web in Neatorama and Presurfer and then translate it or tell it in my own words in Portuguese. My idea is to help those few who don't get a word of english. On some other days I post the music I like or the things that are on my mind...
Now it's filed with pictures of my recent trip to London but now that I'm back home normal blogging will ensue!

A blog of links I find interesting, lists, games, etc.

Thanks for asking! I'm looking forward to checking out lots of new blogs from the comments, too.
(You'd be amazed at how often people search for hillbilly things. And it turns out that referencing Madelene Kahn will bring a surprising amount of traffic as well. But I digress.)
I probably had lofty goals in the beginning but those were quickly replaced with my compulsion to quote books and articles on science/culture/language, link to random bits of oddness, post photos, and instigate scattershot activities such as a sort-of-probably-destined-to-be-annual Sandwich Party.

Plus, I'm currently taking part in a personal project called Lottery Year, where I play the Spanish lottery every week in 2008 and track my progress, showing how my pre-calculated odds are pretty accurate. Nerdy, but fun.

Pictures taken solely with my camera phone - a Sony-Ericsson w810i. I think they're pretty good. It's not been updated as much lately, but I hope to keep adding to it.
And no pesky text to read!
As for my blog, it's nothing spectacular, just stuff that I find interesting on the web or in real life and take the time to write about (and take the time to actually finish writing and get it to the point where I think it's ready for public consumption.) Cars, bikes, energy, politics, family, work, computers, whatever. Pretty random, but... What were we talking about? Oh yeah! My ADD-riddled blog... http://www.davintosh.com/

I was going to email the powers that be at Neatoland to suggest other peoples favourites blogs...but this is close enough.
For that daily dose of WTF: www.rense.com
ps: Ok, I don't have a blog as being in MI5 and all....

Well worth checking out if you are in Melb up until the 5th of the 10th of the 2008th.
Will post some more of favourite time wasters later.

ps: sorry if I just hijacked the thread and it is supposed to be my blog :P
http://englishrussia.com/
I do intend to check out all the blogs posted. Maybe I should do a blog of cool blogs? I know someone has already done it...who has the link?
Global Warming Follies
I share a lot of neatorama, but a lot of other stuff along the same lines. It might be interesting to neatorama to see what a neatorama fan likes other than neatorama. :)

However, I am planning instead after getting a DSLR for my birthday to start a flickr photoblog with a chance of me connecting it to a proper artist blog. Especially, now that I am going to be moving to Downtown Toronto at the end of August. :D
Cartoon biography, smartassgraphy and whatifgraphy.

I have two blogs and one site.
The blogs.
http://lifeinaustin.blogspot.com - Just an every other day blog about stuff. It started as a way for my parents to see pictures of their grandkids, but I've done other things with it.
http://robotportrait.blogspot.com - Used to be a project where people could send me a photo or a name and I'd draw them a 5x7 robotized version and do a video of it being drawn. Interest waned so now I just post from the 700 Robots list on Flickr and the current Robot a Week Challenge.
Finally, http://100artistsproject.com - It has a blog and a ning site as well, it's a charity art project and it's getting ready for it's second volume. I only use the blog to talk about things related to the project, but that does include interviews. The most noteable being Adam Koford who's done some work for contests here.
C'est ca.
I think you do pass by from time to time, but it can't hurt to leave it anyways :)
Geeks are Sexy is a group blog expressing the voices of many IT professionals. The blog is about anything geek and technology related..
And why you should visit? Well, just because of the name of course! :)

Conventional Wisdom. Scaled.
I started Picdit about 8 months ago, and the blog has been going strong until this very day. I created the blog for one reason only, to post the stuff I found was interesting, while surfing the web. That means: design, architecture, gadgets, you name it. Basically saying, the things are totally awesome in this world. I’m trying to find a lot of the new stuff, so if you go back into the internet archives, you won’t the pictures here…. over there.
http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com/
I use it as a repository for all the neat stuff I'd like to read, listen to, or see if/when I lose my short-term memory from Alzheimers; then I'll just visit the blog every day (if I can remember where to find it...)
My site is http://www.comicnerd.com
http://www.hanzismatter.com
The theme of the site is to point out incorrect translation of Chinese & Japanese in non-Chinese & non-Japanese speaking areas. There is a large collection of tattoos of foolish individuals unknowingly decorated their bodies with gibberish.
It is a site dedicated to schadenfreude.

There's also a bit about vagrants that I don't bother writing anymore. Have a look at it. It's brilliant.
Stop by for a daily dose of WTF, updated all day (but only workdays).
