My Favourite Blogs (All 12 of Them)

Glen / 94 Comments / August 26th, 2009 / Subscribe via RSS

In a comment recently I mentioned how I only subscribe to around 15 other blogs (now 12) and just focus on my own writing rather than worry about what other people are putting out there. I was surprised to receive a few emails asking exactly what those sites were that make it onto my small list.

I thought it would be a good idea to share what they are today. I had planned on adding my favourite books here as well but once I considered the size of the post and the quality resources shared, I decided to save my book recommendations for another post.

My 12 Favourite Blogs

Wake Up Tiger – View Latest Post

This site is not the prettiest and it doesn’t have the most in-depth articles, but that’s probably why I love it. Most posts are less than 100 words from the site that describes itself as helping you ‘wake up the tiger within.’ The entirety of one recent blog post was: “There is proof that God exists…who pops up the next Kleenex?”

Tynan.netView Latest Post

Tynan might be familiar to some of you as Herbal from the book ‘The Game’. I don’t read his blog for any tips on picking up women though (which he rarely covers) but more for his travel diaries as he tours the world on a budget. For the last few months he has been living out of an RV and all of his electricity comes from a single solar panel. Definitely check the site out if you enjoy travelling.

Illuminated MindView Latest Post

Illuminated Mind is written by Jonathan Mead who is actually quite an abusive person: most of his blog posts involve ass-kicking in some shape or form. More seriously though, this site is about living on your own terms and following your dreams. I’ve spoke to Jonathan on the phone quite a few times and whilst I haven’t met him, I can tell he is a great guy who really wants to help people grow.

Upgrade RealityView Latest Post

This site is ran by one of my best friends, Diggy, who will soon be joining me on insane adventures in Amsterdam and sitting next to me on a number of videos to be shown here. That’s not why I’m featuring him though. I’m featuring his site because it is the best example of someone being real that I can find. He doesn’t care much for grammar, spelling or a clean sidebar (no offence buddy) but I can relate to everything he writes. Something I can’t say for many other blogs.

Derek SiversView Latest Post

Derek has made quite a name for himself in the offline world, being featured in publications such as Esquire, but it is his blog that I care about. The best way I could describe his site is by asking you to picture Seth Godin but with a music slant. Derek is the founder of CD Baby which he later sold and while he has great ideas of his own, I regularly find some awesome resources which he shares in his updates.

Steve PavlinaView Latest Post

If I’m honest, I don’t subscribe to Steve’s site anymore, but I do stop by now and then. I’ve literally spent days sucking the value from this site so it definitely deserves to be mentioned here. I think Steve has gone off on some crazy tangents since the ‘old days’ but his archives definitely have some fantastic information that I would recommend everybody checks out. If you’ve only read one self improvement blog in your life, I’m sure you’ve still heard of Steve.

Cheerup NationView Latest Post

Cheerup Nation is a relatively new site but has a great idea. Instead of long-winded posts with messages to share, Brian Papa has ensured that his blog remains as simplistic as possible. Many posts are filled with clever post-it-notes or (my favourite part) children from around the world holding up inspirational messages. The idea behind the site is simple, but it’s guaranteed to bring a smile to your face each day.

Jonathan FieldsView Latest Post

I’ve put Jonathan last in the list here as his blog is a cross between marketing and self improvement. And trust me when I say he has great insights on both. Having read business related blogs for years, you get sick of the same information over and over again. Somehow, Jonathan manages to come up with thought provoking posts on a regular basis which help to change my perspective and open my mind.

Smart Passive IncomeView Latest Post

Pat is perhaps the only non-scammy blogger who reveals his monthly income online. Being someone who makes their living from their websites, I’m always interested to see how people are doing and what they’re doing it with. Pat’s monthly income reports regularly exceed $20,000 and he’s not just someone who sits around with his money. Right now he’s working on some iPhone applications and I’m sure there’s a lot more interesting things to come.

SkellieWagView Latest Post

Despite being a successful internet marketer for the last few years, I rarely read blogs on the topic anymore. One that does make my list though, is SkellieWag. Skellie rarely writes posts so you can probably benefit most from her archives, but when she does write, 99 times out of 100 I’ll bookmark the post and read it twice. One to check out if you want to succeed in making money online without all the fluff.

Quick SproutView Latest Post

I used to talk to Neil quite regularly before he really ‘took off’ and became a millionaire at the young age of 21. We were both amongst the top social media ‘experts’ (I hate the term) on the web and showed companies how it should be done. Neil started his own blog just over a year ago and it is backed with excellent business insights. For someone who has enjoyed so much success already, he’s definitely one to keep an eye on.

SEO BookView Latest Post

I have been reading Aaron Wall’s site for around 3 years now so that shows the quality of information he has to offer. Aaron is probably the best SEO in the world and highly respected by everyone in the industry. He’s not a big shot that doesn’t keep in touch though; he has taken time out to do two interviews with me in the past, even when I was a complete nobody. If you run a website, you need to be following this blog.

Win A Free Copy of Cloud Living

Cloud Living has been out for two months now so I assume that most people who want a copy (or at least can afford it) have picked it up already. Cloud Living is my guide to how I make thousands of dollars per month online and is valued at $37. That being said, I’m sure there are a few readers who wouldn’t mind getting their hands on it as a freebie. There are three copies up for grabs and all you have to do is leave a comment sharing your favourite blog (that you don’t own) and why you like it.

I will use a random number generator to pick the winners. If a winner already has a copy, I’ll run the generator again and pick someone else. Make sure that you put your actual email address into the comment form so you can collect your prize if you win.

Update: Congratulations to the winners Arti, Finola, and Andreas.

If you enjoyed this post, I would appreciate if you share it on Twitter, Facebook or Delicious!

Heya Glen!

Wow man, totally awesome post and a big thank you for the review of UpgradeReality! Really appreciate it. :)

Yes, I think I’ll take some grammar classes because sometimes my posts aren’t in as perfect English as they should be :)

Sooo looking forward to Amsterdam and crazy adventures, videos and living life!

Keep well Sir!
Diggy

Comment by Raisia Rojas

Thanks for this list!

I love Zenhabits.com. It really changed my perspective on life.

 
Comment by Xander

I enjoy RyanHoliday.net; the posts are generally quite short (~one paragraph) and not too frequent (~weekly), but Ryan finds poignant ways of expressing incisive insights affecting young adults.

Thanks for your writings!

Comment by kiki

i dont know if u r the xander that i want u to b but i wouldnt mind getting to know u so u got my email address lets chat 4 a few chow 4 now……..

 
 
Comment by Adam Bader

This is definitely a good list. I already knew some of the blogs but also discovered some fantastic new ones. One of my favorite blogs is Tim Ferriss’ http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/ — unique information and we both question things. What, how and why stuff works. Would recommend it to anyone looking to improve their life.

 
Comment by João Alves

This is a fantastic post. I’ve always been curious about what experts in their areas read and the people they follow.

Personally, I’m a follower of the famous Lifehacker blog, which has helped me streamline my life – both in GTD and in the technological side.

 
Comment by Sean

I am going to have to go with Chris Guillebeau’s blog, the Art of Non Conformity. He is one of the best out there for blending travel, lifestyle design and entrepreneurship, in a way that can relate to pretty much anybody.

Great list of blogs here as well!

 
Comment by diazan

Since my brother allowed me a sneak peak into “cloudliving” I’ve been having a look on your blog ;) I think it’s a great idea that being a blogger yourself sharing your favourite blogs.

Like Adam, I think Tim’s blog rocks. I read his book some months ago and happened to cross his blogpage. Great content, I believe.

Although I think it’s obvious (otherwise I wouldn’t be here) I’ve to say that I like your blog, too. Especially graphics and short “teasers”

Wish you a great time in Amsterdam,

Andrés

 
Comment by Harold Shaw Subscribed to comments via email

I really like Leo Babauta’s The Power of Less blog http://thepowerofless.com/ I get lots of ideas of how to simplify my life.

Another really great blog for “older” and younger readers is Ronni Bennett’s Time Goes By http://www.timegoesby.net/weblog/ lots of information on aging.

Harold

 
Comment by Oscar - freestyle

So bad I’m not mentioned here Glen! hehe, just kidding. Anyway, nice list of blogs. I already own your cloud living but I would like to suggest bloggers to follow writing related blogs such as problogger.com and dailyblogtips.com

 
Comment by Dave Witwicki

Great list of blogs! Usually I’m familiar with most (if not all) of the blogs on a list of favourites but I recognize less than half of those you’ve listed. You’ve given me lots of new material to explore! Thanks!

One of the blogs I thoroughly enjoy (that hasn’t been mentioned yet) is FreedomEducation.ca. I like Steve’s use of video for some posts and the material covered consistently matches my interests.

 
Comment by throne

I’m kind of new to following blogs that are “good for me.” Normally I am a sucker for things like Fark.com.

The two that I’ve recently started following are The Art of Non-Conformity (which seems to be well known) and Man vs. Debt. I am also finding that between Zen Habits and AONC I am really starting to get my arse in gear on a few things.

Excellent site here as well!

 

One of my fav blogs is Seth Godin’s (http://sethgodin.typepad.com)

Why? Simply because he’s a marketing genius =)

 
Comment by Traian Subscribed to comments via email

Hi Glen,

Thanks for sharing your top 12!

My favorite blog is the blog of author Tim Ferris. (http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/) What I like most about it is simply the way Tim manages to present things in a practical manner. Everything he writes about he firstly experiments. Actually the motto of the blog is “Experiments in lifestyle design”. I highly recommend this blog!
Another blog I constantly check out is the blog of Derren Brown – http://derrenbrownart.com/blog/ . But this is not a blog focusing on lifestyle. I appreciate it mostly because i appreciate Derren and his magic.

 
Comment by Finola Prescott

Interesting list – I can see my RSS feed numbers growing!

My favourite blog is http://lateralaction.com because it’s focused on creatives and deals with a whole range of ways in which to move from lateral thinking, into action and features interviews and opinion pieces on a wide variety of successful creative people.

I like PluginID too, but then, don’t we all :)

 
Comment by Sidharth

Steve Pavlina for me. Still rocks, despite the tangents.

 
Comment by Maureen

Thanks for the great list! I’ll definitely be checking some of them out. My current favorite is Zen Habits. Excellent ideas for simple healthy living mixed with a smidgen of tech tips.

 
Comment by Jeb

Great post Glen…featuring others, very solid.

Okay, one of my favorite blogs is Catskill Cottage Seed (http://www.catskillcottageseed.com). Richard Reeve is the author. The content deals primarily with psychology and the life work of Carl Jung. But before you roll your eyes, go read 5 or 6 posts and see for yourself. Richard uses the subject matter in such a way to encourage his readers to dig beneath the surface, to take an honest look not just at their own lives, but at the way society tries to force us into certain shaped boxes, and how a conscious effort to expand beyond those limitations is not only possible, but extremely positive. Throughout it all, he weaves art and nature and family and…life.

There’s much more to say about Richard and the Catskill Cottage Seed, but I think it’s best, if you’re so inclined, to discover him for yourself.

Thanks Glen.

 
Comment by Alvin

Seth’s Blog

http://sethgodin.typepad.com

If you are familiar with Seth Godin then the reasoning is likely obvious, if not then take a peak. Many of his posts are targetting very specific cases and decisions, yet he breaks down idea far enough to discuss the underlying principles, consistently.

Might not always agree with him, but rarely do I read a post without stopping to think for atleast a few moments.

Not to mention all the profits from his site (mostly Amazon, there are no ads) get donated to non-profits which is a cool plus. Most recently the Acumen fund.

 
Comment by JC

I have been reading Colin Wright’s blog a lot lately. I am interested in international travel so his ideas are very intriguing to me.

Comment by brian PAPA Subscribed to comments via email

Glen, you may have summed up my blog better than my own about page, ha!

And, I agree with you about Diggy. He’s the real deal, very genuine.
He puts his whole heart into his posts.

Thanks for the shout out! Like yourself, I have many fun things planned.

(emailing you off-line about amsterdam)

 
Comment by Susan Greene Subscribed to comments via email

My favorite blog is Writer Dad (www.WriterDad.com). Sean Platt writes posts that ooze with creativity. His writing is masterful, every sentence a virtual poem in itself. And his main subject matter – raising his children – reflects the deep love he has for his family. Truly inspiring.

 
Comment by Tess The Bold Life

My favorite blog is http://www.JungleofLife.com.

Lance’s sight is about how to get through the jungle of life one step at a time. Every Sunday he posts a photo and a quote and sometimes gets over 60 comments.

I call Lance the sweetheart of the internet because his comments are like love notes. He sincerely expresses how much his readers and blogging buddies mean to him and how much he learns from each of them.

His comment on my blog yesterday: “Tess, What a wonderful gift to receive here today. I am blessed to know you. And it is such an honor to be here today, and to soak up this beautiful message. Thank you, my friend, for being YOU, for giving so freely, and for loving and honoring life.”

That’s enough to make me want to run right over to his blog and give him a big cyberspace hug.

Talk about building realtionships! He also posts photos of his family, three kids and wife and talks about how athletic they are and how they races together as a family.

Who doesn’t need a little help building better family relationships?

Lance is genuine, wise and has integrity. Someone I want to have on my side and get to know better.

When Lance gets his book written you better believe we’ll all be out there promoting it for him. He won’t even have to ask.

 
Comment by Andreas Rönnqvist

My three favorite blogs:

1. http://sethgodin.typepad.com – Best marketing ideas there has ever been. Best “worldview” I can think off and a personal mentor in so many ways.

2. http://www.copyblogger.com – interesting ideas and concepts which help me think “anew” or “differently” at things I thought I already knew.

3. http://www.productiveflourishing.com – makes me reconsider old views and focus on getting productive.

 
Comment by Deirdre

Some real gems on your list. I read http://www.problogger.net/blog/ and http://artistsjournal.wordpress.com/ regularly.

Urban Monk – urbanmonk.net – this website helped me to get through some very tough times.
Rambling Taoist – ramblingtaoist.blogspot.com – a great blog by a guy who is totally REAL!

 
Comment by Abhinav Sahai Subscribed to comments via email

Hi, There are a few blogs which I really like, its the pluginid blog, the sethgodin blog, the copyblogger blog but My favorite blog is the Personal Branding Blog (http://personalbrandingblog.com)by Dan Schawbel. The blog shares so many real life approaches to brand yourself, it tells us how to market yourself in public, how to showcase your skills and doing all that how to remain down to earth. its an awesome blog with so many people sharing their experiences and telling life lessons. I really love it.

 
Comment by Keith Lipke Subscribed to comments via email

Thanks for the inspiration as I move forward with this new venture!

Comment by Aaron

Seth Godin’s blog has some of the most profound business and marketing insights on the web. I’ve been reading his blog for about 4 years now.

http://sethgodin.typepad.com/

 
Comment by Baker

Great list!

The thing I love most is that I’m only familiar with about 50% of the list, which means I have a ton of great content to be exposed to today.

 
Comment by Cath Duncan

Pam Slim writes a fantastic blog about leaving the corporate world to start your own business. It’s got inspiring stories, real people telling their stories, and loads of practical tips for branding, marketing, customer service, setting up systems, and much more:

Comment by Texasholly

I am a fan of Brian and Cheer Up Nation too. I was a fan when he was “just” PapaTV.

Some of my favorites are http://www.barefootfoodie.com, http://www.thebloggess.com and http://www.thursdaydrive.com. I noticed that Writer Dad was mentioned above and he is also on my short list.

 
Comment by Neal

Great post.

One of my favorites is http://www.celestinechua.com

Her post on “Are you sleepwalking your life away?” really struck a chord with me and, well, woke me up!

Keep following your self as I know you will. It’s a nice change in today’s society.

Neal

 
Comment by Leslie

I love urbanmonk.net, it’s a great site on self-improvement

 
Comment by Neal

I’m not trying to increase my chances here but another blogger that definitely says what she wants is shockblogger:

http://www.violentacres.com

I love this post: http://www.violentacres.com/archives/51/how-feminism-ruined-my-sex-life

Some may take offense but there’s still free speech, right?

Neal

 
Comment by Alan

This is great. I really enjoy pluginid. So it is nice to see what you really enjoy and get inspiration/knowledge from.

Besides PluginID being my favorite right now, one that helps get you into a position of financial well being is http://www.frugalforlife.com

If you are at the bottom and want to dig out of debt and invest in your own life, you need to get on track with your own spending first.

And of course, http://www.ZenHabits.com, http://www.alexshalman.com, http://www.dumblittleman.com, http://www.lifehacker.com, http://chrisguillebeau.com, etc…

Thanks Glen!

 
Comment by Ananth

Apart from Sethgodin, Stevepavlina, I read briankim.net. He just focusses on one topic but has an ahaa moment in them.

 
Comment by Steven

My favorite blog is zenhabits.net
I love the simplicity of it and the inspiring messages!

 
Comment by Zoltán Cserei Subscribed to comments via email

Hey Glen!

Nice list, I found a few blogs I didn’t know yet now find it interesting (like Wake up Tiger and Skelliewag). One blog I learnt a lot from, and admire truly the hostess is http://www.questforbalance.com by Lisis :) It’s such a lovely little place on the web.

Have a nice day y’all! :D

 
Comment by David Turnbull

http://www.37signals.com/svn is great for all business owners/designers/coders. Consistently awesome content and behind the scenes look at the guys that develop BaseCamp, Backpack etc.

 
Comment by Miggy

Some of my favorite blogs are:

(realsocialdynamics.blogspot.com) – Although it hasn’t been active for awhile, its archives still carry the most unique and profound articles about dating science & personal development.

(positivityblog.com) – I found this blog recently and has been fascinated by the content of its posts. Definitely enjoyed reading this blog.

 
Comment by Jason

One of my favourite blogs is kinowear.com.

It’s a men’s fashion website but is slanted towards men that are dressing specifically for catching a woman’s eye while out at social functions.

It also often has motivational posts on topics much broader than just fashion.

 
Comment by Rudolf

Neat list Glen! There are so many great personal development bloggers out there with so many spins but Steve Pavlina is my personal favourite. I love those tangents, huge boost in quality of articles and given value during the last two years based on lots of experience and personal trials if you ask me. :)

 
Comment by Arti

My favorite is a new launch http://www.mysticmadness.com The guy has got Bindass style and his posts are motivational and inspiring. He has good knowledge on blogging and never hesitates to help. I have honoured him by giving link in my blog.

I want to start a blog and would love to be part of this contest. thanks a ton Glen for sharing your favorites

 
Comment by JS Dixon

Love the way you are getting everyone to share their favorite blogs Glenn!
Unwrap your mind at http://www.unwrapyourmind.com/ is a new personal development blog that has deep insightful writing, with practical tactics to pull it off. Well worth a look.

 
Comment by Patrenia

My favorite blogs are:
1. http://www.chrisguillebeau.com – he writes awesome content in reference to living life on your own terms.
2. http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com – A blog by Yaro Starak. He shares he knowledge about building a great blog. I am also a student of his Become a Blogger Program.
3. http://www.illuminatedmind.net – Jonathan Mead is an awesome writer when it comes to thinking outside the box about life.
4. http://www.zenhabits.net – Leo is a great writer about keeping life simple
5. http://www.pluginid.com – of course…great information about personal development
6. http://www.stevepavlina.com – another awesome source about personal development
7. http://www.incomediary.com – Michael Dunlop has an awesome blog where he interviews all kinds of people that have attained success with an internet business. Great for keeping me motivated!!!

Whenever I open my RSS Reader and I see a new post from any of the above writers, I immediately skip all others and read what they have to say first :-)

 
Comment by Srinivas Rao

Thanks for sharing this list Glen. I’ll have to add a few these to my RSS reader and check them out.

 
Comment by Jonas

Thanks for the share Glen!

As for my favorite blogs, here’s two of them:

1. http://www.fourhourblog.com – What can I say, every post is just amazing. Seeing how Tim Ferriss mindset has changed my life, this is a must for a favorite list.

2. http://thedreamlounge.net/ – Really great site run by a guy named Anthony, who also started worlds largest Pick up convention (which now covers self development, exercising, nutrition and much much more). He shares some really great insight from his life, about working out and thinking out of the box. CHECK THE SITE OUT!

Love,
Jonas

Nice Posts Glen. Thanks a lot. Will be adding some of these as well to my list.

 
Comment by Howie Douglas

Hey, great post Glen,

there is a few there I haven’t come across before so will be sure to check them out :D

For me, I think my favourite blogs would have to be PluginID along with ZenHabits.

But another few of my favourites (outside of the personal development area) are blogs like David Airey (http://www.davidairey.com/) and Brian Hoff’s blog over at http://www.thedesigncubicle.com.

The last 2 I mainly read for inspiration when I’m working etc, and find some of their articles really useful.

Howie.

Comment by David Airey

Thanks very much, Howie!

 
 
Comment by George Z

http://www.milliondollarjourney.com is one of my favourite blogs. While it’s generally oriented towards Canadian financial issues the other offers solid advice on finances/saving/investing/etc

Congratz on the awesome list you put together, I also appreciate the effort you put into writing the descriptions.

Hi,

just found your blog via the Quit Your Day Job ebook by Ali Hale. I’m sure I will check your blog again.

So, two of my top blogs are:

http://www.aliventures.com
http://zenhabits.net/

Greetings from Germany,

Andreas

 
Comment by Kolammal Shankar

My favorite blog is http://youareremarkable.wordpress.com/

Though this is a wordpress blog, it tells us the most important truth we need to realize throughout our lives – we are remarkable. I think that is what makes this blog my favorite. Added to that, it taught me another important truth – even breaking away from language rules is a writing style which has a flavor of its own.

Other fav blogs:
zenhabits.net
writetodone.com
lateralaction.com
linesandcolors.com

And of course, yours :-)

 
Comment by Elena

One of my favourite blogs is http://www.scotthyoung.com – it has lots of smart, practical advice on personal development.

 
Comment by Faramarz

These are cool blogs glad to see that you don’t only have personal development stuff on your list

I especially like tynan’s blog i have been reading it for years and he always has very interesting stuff

 
Comment by Annabel Candy

You seem to have got all the sensible, life-changing topics covered here so I’m going to pick the silly ones that bring a smile to my face at the end of a long day. The kids love to look at these too so we can share a laugh together as a family with these:

http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/
http://petswhowanttokillthemselves.com/
http://cuteoverload.com/

Enjoy!

 

Glen, thanks for the links. I found a new one I really like from your list: Derek Sivers

 

Truly awesome list, Glen!

Hope all is well with you.

;-)

 
Comment by Chris

dragosroua.com; really enjoying his posts; sharp and to the point
makesmethink.com; a marc & angel offshoot. really interesting short posts
briantracy.com; always has useful stuff to say
scotthyoung.com; practical and realistic personal development

 
Comment by Chick J Subscribed to comments via email

Good Day DJ,

I am a little late to this. (Been reading and getting to put into practice Cloud Living.) My favorite is this new blog by a young lady that tells of her trials and experiences. Then she finds a lesson in it.( Or at least something to laugh at.) It is called Life, Laughs, and Lemmings at http://www.lifelaughsandlemmings.com

 

Thanks for some good pointers on to blogs to check out.

My favorite blog has to be Jonathan Fields’ blog (Awake at the Wheel|Crossroads of Work & Play). Just like his book Career Renegade, his posts are insightful, honest and smart. Always look forward for his next post.

I also like Seth Godin’s blog a lot. Smart guy who doesn’t use more words than necessary.

I was just wondering where you get your photos from. I’m just starting a blog and have no idea how to download, where to get photos from. Thanks for he help in advance.

Hey Emily, I know your question is not addressed to me, but I just feel like answering it…

I think Glen gets his pictures from Flickr.com and then he gives credit to the photographer by putting a link under the photos to the website of the photographer! ;)

You can also buy photos very cheap from Istockphoto and Dreamstime.com. I recommend Dreamstime since they are very cheap! Istock needs a start budget I guess and extra sign up costs. Pardon me if I’m wrong. Anyway check it out for yourself here:

and

Yep, as Katya said.

99% of my photos come from Flickr with a photo credit link.

My favourite blog is NaomiSimson.com.au – an inspirational Australian business woman who isn’t afraid to share what helps her and her business be so successful. And she fully embraces ‘web 2.0′ and what it can do for you and your business.

I love the blog called ‘Color me Katie’. Here is the address http://colormekatie.blogspot.com

I love it because the writer (Katie) puts out the best imagination ever with beautiful flush of colors and clouds. She blogs her imagination our without thinking about SEO or publicity which just brings her even more of it. I am sure anyone who looks at the blog will get hooked to it (just like me)!

“I think Steve has gone off on some crazy tangents since the ‘old days’…”

Everyone seems to say that at some point. :) I’m always curious exactly which of his topics a given person considers to be a crazy tangent. Brown rice? Polyamory? Subjective reality? Astral projection? Raw foodism?

Comment by Glen

Maybe an 8 part series on how to communicate with busy people ;)

Oh yeah, that was kinda weird. :)
