A Blogroll?
Every once in a while I debate the merits of putting a blogroll up. A few days ago I stumbled on blogrolling.com (yes, I'm slow), and started to mess with it.
Part of the reason that I don't like blogrolls is that they feel kind of like a popularity contest, which bring back bad high school memories for me. At the same time, I definitely owe an intellectual debt to a number of other bloggers, and I'd like to recognize that. Another motivation for putting up a blogroll is that some of my friends are asking me what blogs I read, and I don't want to keep repeating myself.
So here's the deal with my blogroll. I read too many feeds to just do an export from NetNewsWire and then slap them up there (A nice selective OPML export from NNW would be cool). I'm not Scoble, but I'm definitely an outlier on that graph that's been making its way around. I've picked out the blogs that make an impression on me on a regular basis (there are many more that do this semi-regularly, but I have to make the cut somewhere). I've also tried to "balance" the list with bloggers from different areas of interest. I did the cutoff in a semi-arbitrary, touchy-feely way, so it's not perfect.
I hope that this helps those of you who are looking for something interesting to read.

People want to be reasonably competent, reasonably in control of their life and works, and have a reasonably healthy community they can belong to. Most people don't really want money; except that it may increase their control over things or because they have forgotten other things they want.

...into some other gardens: I've finally posted a blogroll. At first, both Ted and I were reluctant to publish blogrolls. But a couple months ago, Ted posted some selections from his lengthy list. And as I realized how I had...
