BlogHopping

You know you've done it... clicked the "next blog" button at the top of the screen to see what comes up. (This is not really a good thing, as a lot of faux blogs contain spyware and/or try to get you to download stuff you don't want.) Most likely you've bloghopped like I do: you're on a friend's blog, click a link to another, then another, etc. It's 6 Degrees of Blogs, or more in my case... once I kept clicking one link on each new site until I'd been through about 30 or so, wound up on a blog from Singapore that I ended up bookmarking. THIS is how you find stuff you weren't looking for that is often interesting and inspiring.

Here's some of the sites I found while bloghopping:

No new posts, but read the blog from the beginning if you're so inclined... it's an on-the-road journal from a man who rode from New York City to Alaska (with pit stops in the southern states for BBQ) on a motorcycle. I read this daily while it was happening and received a nice email reply from Mathew when he got home. (Warning: some profanity.)

With tongue firmly in cheek, Elijah Yoder shows the lighter side of being Amish. Some jokes I've read before but his spin is quite amusing. Be sure to click on some of the links on his blog, too, for more humor and some (factual) Amish history. Funny stuff!

Pop Culture Junk Mail is the title, which pretty much sums it up. Gael (the author and entertainment editor for MSNBC.com) is always blogging about the comic strip "For Better or For Worse", one of my favorites, so it's amusing to read what snarky comments she's come up with. She also manages to find some of the weirdest commercial products available... Luke and Leia wedding cake topper, anyone?

Randomness at its most simplistic. Mostly a collection of links to really odd stuff.

Total and complete celebrity snarkiness. If you absolutely need to know what Britney Spears is wearing (white trash couture), how skinny Nicole Richie has gotten (very) or what's up with Brad & Angelina or Jake Gyllenhall, visit Pink. It's there. (Some mild profanity on occasion.)

"A-Team Oddities." I think I had some of that stuff. Other pages on the site as well, great for nostalgic A-Team fans. Includes a link to Dwight Schultz (Murdock) website. (Note: this isn't a blog, but it was a link on one, so it counts!)

There's more but this is enough for now. I have to go try to recover from the flu so I can work this weekend. Nappy time!
