Cooking With Food - http://www.cookingwithfood.info . It’s a videoblog (mostly) where I feature recipes made with whole food ingredients, avoiding mixes or canned soups, and keeping processed ingredients to a minimum. It was inspired by my reading Michael Pollan’s books, which got me to start eating healthier.
Sit Up and Cycle - http://www.situpandcycle.info . I describe it as “bicycle commuting for the non-athlete.” I guess you could say it’s just one more in a long line of blogs promoting “cycle chic,” where you ride in regular clothes and go at a relaxed pace. The idea is that bicycling can be thought of as a mode of transportation, just like driving, rather than an extreme sport requiring special gear.* And because I have a personal preference for the upright riding position (common in Europe but not in the U.S.) I named the blog after that.
*Not that I have anything against those who like cycling as a sport. It’s just that a lot of people think of cycling as only a sport, and I’m trying to show that you could also think of it as a regular everyday method of transportation.
I would welcome feedback if any of you decide to peruse it.

Me too. But only if you laugh. If you don’t think it’s funny, I don’t want to know about it.
Gary I’ve been meaning to get your poop book for my son. Animals and poop are his two favorite things. Well, there’s farts, too, but that’s probably implied.
My blog is over here. It’s a personal blog, mostly about books, food, taking care of my little monsters, occasionally sewing or gardening. I’ve been doing it for ages- six years? Eight years?- most of the time I’ve been married. Right, just checked. I started in 2005.
It’s the only journal I’ve kept up so long, and I enjoy it. Dunno if anyone else does.
I have a blog about living in NYC. I started it in part because I thought it would be fun to have a blog and the city provides a never ending source of stuff to write about and also because I have family members that I talk to once every couple of months and they want to know what I’m up to but I always draw a blank. “Uh, I know I did awesome stuff but for the life of me I can’t remember what it was!” It’s called My Life in the Big Apple.
I have two. One is just a book blog, mostly started because I always wanted to join those reading challenges that start every January. It’s in its second year. Lately I’ve been posting fluff because I was so worked up about getting ready to speak at a homeschooling conference that I could only read fluff. It’s called Howling Frog Books.
I also have a sort of project blog about American history, which I thought was going to turn into something, and then didn’t. Lately I’ve been neglecting it, but I might get it going again soon.
Thanks. The next few months are going to be complaining about pregnancy, and mad, frenzied preparation before possible bedrest and the twins arrive. It adds something to the normal run of Gnat’s diabetes, what-I-just-cooked, life minutiae.
I laughed. Not at the pizza recipe (that got me thinking about trying to reproduce the cashew chicken pizza with feta cheese that a restaurant made in the town near where I used to live, but I digress…), but at the chipmunk stories.
My blog is part of my Tokyo Disney Resort fansite. So, naturally enough, the blog theme is about being a Nempa (Annual Passport holder) there. No worries though. It’s all in English!
Yeah, I run what is arguably the world’s worst sports blog. I started it when I started applying to grad schools so that anyone who googled my name would get a result that showed me being smart but boring, as opposed to a dentist in Indiana. It started off as a generic politics blog and morphed with my interests to the point where now it’s almost exclusively economics- and statistics-focused baseball stuff. Much of it is probably incorrect or at least incomplete, from a theoretical perspective. I update irregularly and occasionally do a blatant grab for backlinks from baseball-reference.com.
Still, I do get to lead into hockey conversations during playoffs with “You know, there’s a statistically-significant Kate Smith effect for the Flyers.”
My blog is very dull, it’s just me ranting and pondering, but it does have a popular post that was linked to from somewhere else so gets a lot of notice.
start here in case anyone else is interested in what a wuss I am. Preview: I did not welcome my new chipmunk overlords.
LISSLA! Wow, congratulations! I have sisters who are twins, so I’ve been through it, albeit as mother, second-in-command. (I was 17 when they were born.) I advise you to be prepared to not remember whole chunks of your life. It gets easier after the first six months, though, honest.
I am loving everyone’s blogs! What a creative and interesting bunch of people we are.
I’m going to be reading a lot for the next couple of weeks… I hope nobody minds some comments on their posts. Feel free to filter out my smartass thoughts.
I have one that I’ve been doing since 2000 (though I added some manual journal entries from before that to it as well). It’s mostly a personal journal but it has other things from time to time. Anyway it’s here:
If you click on the “Home” button at the top that takes you to http://opalcat.com which is my homepage which is also kind of blog-like but with a wider scope.
