It’s come to my attention that today, August 31st, is BlogDay2007. Since I’m still on “vacation”, I might as well participate. And, just for the record… I don’t know why their logo looks like “$310,000 day” either. It’s weird.

According to BlogDay.org:

BlogDay was created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.

With the goal in mind, on this day every blogger will post a recommendation of 5 new blogs. This way, all blog readers will find themselves leaping around and discovering new, previously unknown blogs.

Here’s my 5 recommendations, in no particular order with little particular preference and with almost no particular premeditation involved (I read about 120 blogs every day, give me a break):

• Global Spin, by Chris Radcliff. He’s a friend, and he usually writes about cool eco-green-earth-friendly-tree-hugging, geeky, robotic, piratey stuff. Oh, and he’s working on (in his mind) a way to get reverse gravity to work. I asked him to promise me the first hoverboard though… so don’t even ask.
• Geekologie. It’s not as geeky as the name. They’ve got cool stuff on that blog on a daily basis. If you’ve never heard of this blog, ah friend, you are missing out on a whole part of life which needs attention.
• Darren Barefoot is a pretty good blogger too. I read his stuff simply because he and his wife moved to frickin’ Malta of all places and he’s still as stud. Plus, he’s Canadian and Canadians just crack me up.
• Now, I’m not considered “young” anymore now that I’m 30, but I still like to pretend. If you’re young physically, or just mentally give a looksie at Young Go Getter. Watch them squirm under their own brilliance.
• Common Craft by Lee and Sachi LeFever is a great blog as well. Their writing isn’t quite up to par with their personalities, but their videos rock. You may have seen RSS in Plain English, their debut? It’s outstanding. They are great folks in the Seattle area and I’d recommend them to anyone.

And, there it is. Any questions?
