Other Blogs

Well, as promised, no more talk of that “i” thing! And, I’m not going to link an article today – mainly because I really don’t know if anyone reads the links. Ok, truth is I really don’t know if anyone actually reads the blog at all. Oh well, I actually find it an oddly therapeutic process – even if I am only sending thoughts into thin air. I was told recently by an acquaintance that they had read one of my posts and wanted to leave a comment but could not – some technical issue. I am still trying to find out what that might be.
Of all my experiences since I started this, the best is some of the blogs that I have found and now follow. I read some business related ones (I have renewed my insane love of the Harvard Business Review), and I follow a bunch of tweeters on a regular basis as well as following their threads and some of the comment links to some interesting places. But the truth is, the blogs I really love are the ones that have little to do with business or “social media” and a lot to do with “life”.
In no particular order here are three of my current favourites:
Jessica Watson Official Blog
I have referred to Jessica in the past. She is an Australian teenager who is attempting to sail solo and unassisted around the world and she is close to completing that goal. I have been following her journey since the beginning and will miss reading her observations when here trip is finished.
My Life in Key West
I stumbled across this site quite accidentally and have read it almost every day since. Lou is a retired lawyer living in Key West, Florida. I happen to love that island and town so I find it fun to read about his life and social interactions. I suppose it helps that I know most of the places he writes about and reading him makes me want to get back to my favourite get away.
Our Little Apartment
I found this site recently and love it. It kind of reminds me of Julie in the movie Julie and Julia with out the cooking. It’s the honest story of a young couples life from the wife’s perspective. It is somehow endearing although I suspect it would be of interest mainly to women, I find it refreshing.
Cheers and have a great day,
George
