Mego,

How could you omit Fake Steve Jobs? (tech “gossip”, mostly libel)
http://fakesteve.net
I seriously love this blog and check it constantly, hoping he’s written something, anything.
He’s an awesome writer and really funny. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Lyons#Fake_Steve_Jobs

I also like the Simple Dollar (personal finance)
http://www.thesimpledollar.com/

and Consumerist (consumer advocacy)

I read so many mommy blogs! And I don’t know any of them…. Huh. (Please note, I am posting under a pseudonym because this is embarrassing and creepy, and I can’t have anyone from high school googling me, and this is what they find.)

Anyway, here are some favorite blogs:

Gossip/News

Fashion/Shopping

Stupid Shit

And that is just the tip of the iceberg! Let me know if you like any of these and I’ll send you more.

This is a mommy blog, so feel free to ignore, but I love it.

I’m sure you have had just about enough of my recommendations but here are some more anyway. And I am guessing at the links (AM SO HELPFUL) but if they don’t work they’re easily googleable.

Sweet Juniper!
http://www.sweet-juniper.com
Sort of a Dadblog but has turned into much more than that. His writing about Detroit makes me think differently about cities and the economy and the future of our country.

Mimi Smartypants
http://www.mimismartypants.com
She absolutely kills me dead with every post. If I had to give up all the blogs I read but one, I think I would pick hers. (Well, after YOURS of course).

Margaret and Helen
http://margaretandhelen.wordpress.com/
“Best friends for sixty years and counting.” Awesome.

By the way, thanks for turning me on to Penelope Trunk. I love reading her, and I love that she frequently shocks me in a way that hardly anyone else does.

I read way too many and I’ve already told you about most of them. BUT, the StairPorn got me all excited. Here’s my version (storage! for shoes! it’s beautiful!)
