More Blogs of Interest

FiveThirtyEight -- Dedicated to electoral projections and political polls; very interesting stuff.

The Cool Hunter -- It's hard to pin down the focus of this one... design, architecture, culture. Very, you know, cool.

Tifaux -- Blog about TV. I just found it... strikes me as potentially pretty funny.

Stereogum -- Music blog.

Matt Taibbi -- (Student Pick) Blog by a columnist for Rolling Stone. Politics, liberal slant.

Laura Freberg -- (Student Pick) Blog by a psychology professor about... psychology.

Tattoo Blog -- (Student Pick) A blog dedicated to photos of, and commentary about, tattoos.

Lick of the Day -- (Student Pick) That's "lick," as in, "riff." This blogger provides, as he says it, "a new guitar lick every day."

The Movie Blog -- (Student Pick) Pretty self-explanatory.

One student suggested a blog debating religion, but it seemed a little too combative to link. But it's obviously a topic that interests people, so I went looking for some with moderated views. Here are a few blogs (in no particular order) about religion, philosophy, and ethics, from different points of view -- David Kuo on BeliefNet, Planet Humanism, ThinkBuddha, Ijtema.net, Virtual Philosopher, and Civil Religion.

And what would the Internet be without cute pictures of furry animals? (Answer: one-third as big.)
