I have added four new blogs to the Log My Blog website, my first for 2010!

Danger Room

Author: group blog
Web Address: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/

If you can put your sense of moral outrage on hold, this is a great interesting blog. Many of the technologies that we use every day were originally developed for military use such as the Internet. If you wish to get a look at what future technology may look like this is the blog for you.

Many of these technologies sound ridiculous such as psychic soldiers and the authors really know how to play to this sense of the ridiculous with a great deal of humour.

Face it blowing shit up is cool.

A word of warning for all wired sites is the advertising. Some ads creep across the screen in the most annoying manner.

Flying Solo

Author: group blog
Web Address: http://www.flyingsolo.com.au/

This is a website dedicated to solo and freelance business people – people who run a business from home with a staff of one. The blog is only one facet of this website with users encouraged to visit the flying solo forums. Most posts are about ideas and techniques to improve your business and your business life. It is a very busy website with lots of ads and nagging links, but the website is still worth a look for solo and small business owners.

The content of this blog is good, but the package frankly gives me a headache. Everything could be spaced out a bit more and the advertising could be a little more subtle.

This could be excused by the quality of the content. I am a little biased as I really don’t like the latest fashion of packing the maximum amount of things in the smallest amount of space. With increases in monitor size there is really no excuse for this.

Defamer

Author: group blog
Web Address: http://defamer.gawker.com/

This is an American gossip blog featuring snarky commentary about various global celebrities, TV shows, movies and music. If you are into gossip magazines this is the site for you. A word of warning this is a very busy site with lots of links to and content shared with other closely affiliated blogs.

This is an interesting blog with lots of info about celebrities and their more shady activities.

It also provides insights into TV shows and movies that you don’t usually see.

Personal Development for Polymaths

Author: Hunter Nuttall
Web Address: http://hunternuttall.com/blog/

Personal Development for Polymaths is a terribly boring name for an interesting site. A polymath is intelligent person with a broad range of skills and interests. As you would expect the author writes about a broad range of topics from artificial intelligence to finance and literature. His posts are very philosophical long and detailed. If you are interested in science, technology and finance this blog is worth a look.

This is a good blog for somebody interested in science or science fiction. The author writes long and detailed posts in an easy to read essay style. His posts focus on the more philosophical aspects of scientific development such as artificial intelligence.

It is a thought-provoking blog which is well worth a look for any thinking intelligent being.
