I’m sure you’re familiar with this phenomena: every once in a while you’ll scroll through your iPod with its 10, 20, 80, 160 gigs of music or whatever, and you won’t find anything that sparks you at that moment. 10,000 songs and nothing jumps out at you. Certainly there’s some great stuff in there, but every so often, we all need a wakeup call – something bold and new. Well, that’s me right now, only with blogs. I’m in need of something to snap me out of this little rut I’m in.
Therefore, I’d like to humbly call on the power of this community to throw me a few bones. (Turns out that this is a great 2.0 nod that will benefit us all, and such things have been helpful in the past…) Simply put, I’d love to know what you’re reading online. Photography, art, film, design, music, popular culture, or anything related – it all qualifies. Take 20 seconds and–in the comments section below–please post a link, a review, a name, a sentence, two words, whatever – something, anything about your favorite blog(s), so that I can make your favorite(s) my new favorite(s). You can post anonymously or under your blogger name, no matter. This is not an exercise in pretentiousness or obscurity – everything has merit. I promise to visit each sincere link that gets posted here and I’ll heap lavish amounts of praise (and perhaps a t-shirt and maybe even a pair of shoes 
upon whomever turns me onto a new favorite nugget that’s not already in my RSS reader.
Thanks in advance for your time.
[And, btw if you're into this sort of thing, you might want to consider ticking that little box in the comments section below that pings you via email ("Email follow-up comments to...") when this post receives comments.]
You should read Neatorama:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/Neatorama
It’s just a blog about random stuff around the world. I hope you enjoy it!
P.S. I saw you at NYC at the PhotoShelter event. It was really inspiring.
http://music.tumblr.com
It’s a music tumble blog that has free high quality songs with links itunes links if you like the artist and want to buy more. It is bare bones, no comments, just free music.
Enjoy.
Disclaimer, I do not run the site but I know who does, his main blog is at http://ericrice.com
A couple in my RSS reader that are on the design side of things:
http://infosthetics.com/ – Highlights various infographics found on the internet and in print. Points to some really cool data visualisations.
http://www.37signals.com/svn/ – Signal vs Noise over at 37 Signals. Some nice conversations about design and usability. Occasional photography post.
DIY:
LifeHacker – hopefully you’re already got that one.
http://www.hackaday.com/ – Random gadgets = awesome.
http://www.makezine.com/blog/ – Will clog up your RSS reader really quickly if you’re not careful, but they have some really great stuff.
And then a bunch of photography ones that you will already have:
Strobist, A Photo Editor, Photojojo, FSTOP Magazine, Behind the Camera (http://www.behindthecamera.info/) and a bunch more.
If I get bored I normally head to reddit or digg, or the Strobist group on Flickr.

Hi Chase, I know how you feel — I get into the same ruts with my reading material. There are a few, however, that I’m alway excited to read on a daily basis.
digital Photography School
JMG-Galleries
Kwerfeldein
If the feeds are letting me down, sometimes I’ll head to photographyVoter and skim through the popular articles.
And of course, don’t forget to check out the Epic Edits Weblog. Yeah it’s mine, but I still think it rocks.
Here is a short selection of my favorites:
David Pogue’s posts are always fun to read and presenting technology can be a form of entertainment as well:
http://www.davidpogue.com/davidpogue_rss.xml
These are some Photography blogs, I like. Tips from the top floor is mostly on the technical side on things, but fun as it is done by a fellow German in English.
http://www.tipsfromthetopfloor.com/wp-rss2.php
I just like looking at pictures by Jasmine Star. Simply nice pictures, nothing too overdone.
http://jasminestarblog.com/rss/
When I discovered Mike Colon’s webpage, I got really inspired by what is possible by just using a camera and a good lens.
http://www.mikecolon.net/blog/sitefeed/atom.xml
http://www.monoscope.com/ – useful for random visual ideas.
Blogs I read all the time:
I don’t read a lot of blogs that people her haven’t already posted, but I listen to a lot of podcast while I work.
http//www.KeithandTheGirl.com – I have been listening for a few years now. Prob. the funniest podcast out there
http://www.crankcast.net – The Podcast about nothing.. and comic books
http://www.quickstopentertainment.com/?p=5536 – Smodcast – Kevin Smith has a podcast.. Kevin Smith tells stories about life in Jersey and tales of the past..
Like everyone, I have a blog too.. http://www.TheSHutterClick.com
Also, two great photoblogs:
– http://www.durhamtownship.com/index.html
– http://www.craigtannercreative.com/lightdiary/
Favourite photoblogs for me include http://www.chromasia.com (obviously…) and http://www.myglasseye.net, while in terms of actual regular bloggage I love http://www.daringfireball.net, which to be honest is mostly a collection of Mac-related stuff as well as some of his own opinion, which I enjoy.
Not sure if Brenton was referring to “the F Stop Magazine” or “F Stop the magazine” – either way
http://www.thefstopmag.com
http://www.yewknee.com/blog/ – great blog about music, design, and culture by a guy I only know by name through a friend of a friend. Has a monthly Music mix you can download – current one is still Halloween mix “Et Tu, Morte?” (look under the search box on the right).
He started a great contest, check out the “about” section – http://www.moustachemay.com/
And this one for when I’m totally stressed and need a laugh –
http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/
I don’t remember where I found this one, and I don’t even really know what to say except that I never knew analyzing and dissecting the cultural context of an image could be so funny -
http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com/
And thank you for your blog! It’s refreshing and inspiring to read.

Well yours obviously, Various RSS feeds (Now in Mac Mail), Digg (not a blog but great for info) Macbytes., BBC. Nikonians.Org. etc
I generally subscribe to more podcasts than Blogs… I find that I can catch up faster & multi task with podcasts more than blogs. In the main I prefer tech, photography , Mac and Interview type podcasts, how to do i guess and some for inspiration, (yep yours).

I often listen to BBC’s From our own correspondent. It keeps me updated of how this world works. BBC have many other great podcasts. Here’s the directory.
If I was to choose only one blog to recommend as a must it would have to be
http://freealbums.blogsome.com/
Free albums. Great music. Unsigned bands and some famous artists. Free: my favourite price.
steve@photoportunity.com
thinsite.net and wastedphotos.com .. two really funny guys with equally good photo blogs.

I’m feeling inspired, and I can’t thank you enough. More when I have a few minutes.
Check out my favorite blog and podcast (except from this one
http://www.mulita.com/blog/
It’s George Jardine, one of the developers of Adobe Lightroom, he has an podcast called adobe lightroom and a blog where he talks to different photographers about the art of ´taking a good picture, Althougth it’s not always about my kind of photography it always keeps me stuck to the computer or ipod listening to good intelligent discussions.
Hope you will like it
Cheers
Mads Alexander
Thanks Chase. My daily grind just got a bit longer thanks to everyone’s linkage.
ForgetFoo
My friend in DC runs a fun blog of the variety kind. Little mash-up of a lot of things.
http://www.forgetfoo.com
Julien Roumagnac
This photoblogger is out of Toronto, I think, and I’m always inspired by his work.
http://www.j-roumagnac.net/

While this site is nsfw, I am a fan of fine art nudes (as opposed to just raunchy nekkid chicks).
http://afuckaday.blogspot.com
Two design image blogs of note (someone already posted monoscope):
referencelibrary.blogspot.com
acejet170.typepad.com/
For music the podcast of Sound Opinions is very good:
http://www.soundopinions.org
Instead of just giving you the ones I read regularly (Flashflavor, Strobist, Photoshop Insider), take a look at http://www.cornershots.com. Jimmy Yoo has created some amazing (mostly night) imagery of NYC, mostly in HDR.
These two blogs share a lot of insight that can both inspire and educate:
http://alittlenews.wordpress.com/
http://www.assignmentconstruct.com/index.php
Wil Wheaton’s blog
He’s a witty writer, geek, actor, parent, poker player and of course ex-Star Trek most hated character.
His blog is typically fun and funny, with a touch of touching.
http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/
Andrew Hetherington’s blog is also worth a read. Has that European lack of pretense that’s always refreshing
http://www.whatsthejackanory.com/
Black Star Rising also usually has some interesting takes
http://rising.blackstar.com/
A few I think you’d love:
Flash Flavor
The Image Is Found
Cool Tools
Perou’s Secret Diary is a combination of narrative nuggets and stunningly illuminated photographs.
Martin Andreasen has some good work on his blog.
Brooks Blog has a lot of good portrait setups – although he could definitely stand to post more often.
Andy Bell is a master of color and composition.
In the design side of things-
Sleevage showcases the best new album artwork, often with interviews with the designers.
Do you read A Photo Editor? (http://aphotoeditor.com/) If not, check it out. It’s intriguing, if only because I’m constantly trying to figure out who this mystery photo editor is.
BAGnewsNotes is also an interesting read–lots of intriguing pix (http://bagnewsnotes.typepad.com/bagnews/)
I’ve got a blog that can help solve both the blog problem AND the iPod problem!
Stereogum is a blog of musical merit that is rendered with the same sharp wit used by the kids at Engadget and Gizmodo.
I suppose I could leave you with a link to my photography blog. It is a work in progress, but right now my viewers are just a few of my friends, and they only see it because it is imported to my Facebook!
Willarg – Will Foster’s Photography Blog
This is the first time that I have really tried showing my blog to someone who is successful! I hope you enjoy it!
~ Will Foster
For discovering new music there’s nothing like http://Last.fm. Signup and have it track your listening habits. Then it can make really great recommendations to you. I discover new stuff all the time.
http://wvs.topleftpixel.com/
Simple views–with a different image each day–of life in Toronto. Sometimes boring, often inspiring.
Well, of course I have to mention my own blog (Hey, I like reading it!)

Hundret of ressources for photographers, videbloggers and so on.. think it gonna satisfy you for a while..
I used to be an avid reader of this blog called lies.com:
http://lies.com
It gives very in depth insights into some of the political issues going ’round. Sometimes a wee bit complicated (especially for a non-native English speaking European like myself) but it can really tie your head in knots on occasion (but good knots).
It may drain some creative juices but as voters this is what me must endure on occasion. Also the writer of the blog is clearly a liberal so you may need to balance out the articles with other sources of information (democracy 2.0!)
Maybe a new one to watch
http://thecruelvisualworld.blogspot.com
Adding to the list of anonymous bloggers, this is a creative director in NY.
You don’t seem to be the person running out of ideas but I personally got very inspired by ”The Idea Book” found at http://www.theideabook.org/ to bad their blog is in swedish only at http://www.interesting.org/

Whilst this is a visual medium based site, I really enjoy reading people’s reactions to the photography/artwork etc as they are often so very different to mine.
We recently launched a new web site as part of the PDN family, PDNGearGuide.com.
Much like Amazon.com’s user reviews and ratings, we’re looking to populate the user reviews section of this web site, to help users make better photographic purchases based on the advice and comments of fellow photographers.
If you’d like to write a brief review for any equipment you’ve used, we’d really appreciate it. All you have to do is visit PDNGearGuide.com, click on Buyer’s Guide and log on to leave a user review for any of the items listed in the Buyer’s Guide section. And please pass this message along!
Thanks!

This is an informative blog about an amazing new space here in Seattle. It’s a must see and the blog is an excellent way to stayed tuned for the next event.

And if your life really sucks and your bored to the point of suicide:
http://storyboardforadisparatelife.blogspot.com/
Full disclaimer: Yes, that’s my blog. Pretentious? Maybe. But at least there’d be two of us reading it then.
Wow, great list going here. A couple good ones:
Brain Auers Epic Edits (who posted above) – consistent interesting reading.
Magnum photos blog ( a new fav)
And of course a shameless plug for myself CameraPorn.net – my own photography related blog – and dont worry its SFW
I don’t know if these are good enough to win a T-Shirt, but maybe you’ll send me your shoes Chase.
I love these two sites for these reasons:
noimpactman.com
This awesome expirement in human nature as a guy and his family live for a year with the intention of creating as little global impact as possible… in Manhattan. His blog is almost a daily thing, but it ranges between a blurb about frustrations, to a topic in great detail about appreciation of life and the great ways to live it to it’s fullest. He’s full of inspiration in the sense of pointing things out to me I never would have thought about without reading his blog. I think you’ll like it. It gets the thoughts rolling, and he’s funny and creative.
The other one I like (and I’m not sure it’s a blog) But I subscribe to the:
visualthesaurus.com
and being a visual person, I really think it’s fun. They have an e-mail every day with a new random word and it’s meaning. I try to use the new word, as my word of the day. Ok, it’s really funnier than it sounds. I’ve got the whole office in on it. Try it out. It’s been a site that has also helped me with my creative thinking for personal work through word associations, and shooting for stock. I think you’ll like it.
I wear a small T-Shirt, and my shoe size is an 8.
How about a local sports photographer blog.

adland – creative ads: http://commercial-archive.com/
ads of the world – owned by jupiter images, they post ads from around the world. Sometimes really funny. – http://adsoftheworld.com/
3 Hive – 600+ royalty free mp3s from some of the newest and hottest artists : http://www.3hive.com/
lighting mods blog – some of the best diy lighting mods made contrived from Rui. this blog was featured on strobist: http://lightingmods.blogspot.com/
Reuters photography blog – featuring articles about photography from press photographers from around the world: http://blogs.reuters.com/photo
Chase, you may like Seth Godin’s blog – it’s not about art nor photography, it’s about, well, marketing. I see a lot of similarities in Seth’s and yours thoughts. The address is http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
I’ve always been a fan of ZenHabits at http://zenhabits.net
Great ways to destress and cut complexity out of life.
This comment has been removed because it linked to malicious content. Learn more.
my last suggestion didn’t really seem to fit the bill so here’s another blog I like:
http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/arts/
especially the article in the music section called: “Music to watch Rothko by” is insightful. I’m still waiting for an article titled “Music to accompany a keynote address”. All other sections (art, books, film, radio/tv) provide tons of great articles also

Hey Chase,
These might have been mentioned before since there are SO many links here, but here it goes:
http://wvs.topleftpixel.com
http://apparentlynothing.my-expressions.com/ (inactive lately)
http://www.houserphotography.com/blog/
I know he checks your site a lot, it’s actually through him that I got here, and I’m so glad I did. I preferred his old site for the blog aspect though.
http://www.chromasia.com/iblog
Hiya Friends. Wow. This is one helluva list we’ve got going here. Just a note to let you know that I’m tuned in (albeit from Chile and now Buenos Aires Argentina…with a very slow internet connection) and making good on my word to check out every link that’s not already on my radar.
Firstly, I’m blown away. This is such an absolute treat to hear from so many of you. I’m floored with the abundant generosity of those of you who are sharing. In addition to inspiring me, this post will now officially server as a kick ass reference for a long time to come.
Second, Thank you thank you.
Third, now back to reading…. I’ll be back in the US tomorrow with another update!
One follow up tidbit: Since many of you are commenting on podcasts here, it occured to me that buried in here, amongst the core CJ blog community, it makes sense (and makes me happy) to give you an advance notice, INSIDE SCOOP: we have an iTunes video podcast–available for download immediately–in both ipod/iphone resolution and appleTV resolution.
Chase Jarvis iTunes Video Podcast for iPod/iPhone.
Chase Jarvis iTunes Video Podcast for AppleTV.
We’ve had it up for a short while for testing and what not, and many of you have discovered it already and shared it with friends before we could (encouraged…)!! You’ve also, apparently, been downloading like mad (our host gave us a ring
, but it seems to be whizzing along nicely.
So there will be a blog entry about this soon, but consider this an unofficial leak for anyone willing to read 80 comments into a post. (In true 2.0 style, of course, feel free to leak it some more). There’s even a movie there that hasn’t been released
More soon.
Thank you, thank you.
Chase,
I have to share this incredibly inspirational youtube video. I’m not sure if you’ve come across it but I think it can only enhance the “CJ community”.

Hey Chase,
I used to write for http://WWW.PSFK.COM
Lots of fun stuff. Also seems nobody mentioned.

It’s all about that whole cross pollination Medici effect.
I check these each day without fail:

A blog by a talented travel photographer… in fact, it’s how I found your site!
Chase,
I stumbled across this site while in a hotel room editing images from a shoot. I just let it play for background music and loved it!
http://www.mashuptown.com/
being an 80′s kid I find that I know most of the tracks that they use and it’s neat to hear some of your old favorites in a totally new way.
Anywhere i can find Chase’s video in non Apple formats?
I had a friend with the same issue as Ken. I sent them here:
http://www.viddler.com/explore/chasejarvis/videos/16/ for non-Apple videos. The quality wasn’t as good, but you’ll get the concepts very well – and the concept is what I watch them for!
Although it’s a paying site it’s very diverse and inspirational.

I just returned from Oregon on a business trip. I met a homeless kid and took some photos with him.

http://www.whattheduck.net ? Yeah, you have probably been there a thousand times. so I’ll throw a few out: http://indexed.blogspot.com/ as well. Quick reads, and always enjoyable.
Meh, I’ll throw out http://www.peterboysen.com too. That’s me, but I gave you two good links, so I don’t feel like I’m totally abusing this opportunity.
Right now I am not reading to many blogs, I am using something better.
I am listening to allot of podcasts so that when I am waiting for the buss and such.
A few I listen to are
Lightsource
Pro Photography Show
Tips from the top floor
Shutter Bug Radio
And another blog slash
forum I use all the time,
http://WWW.DPREVIEW.COM
I am surprised its not been listed already. This is pretty much my source for any new tech coming out or any sad recalls.

Its for out of market fashion shooters like me. No chance of any great gigs but we cant stop shooting. and theres no-one to help us along

This is so cool – so, SO cool. I’ve spent the last week browsing through so many of these blogs and have been blown away. The few I currently read on a regular basis have already been mentioned, so no doubles from me – but I’m excited to delve into all this new stuff.
Thanks for the starting this one Chase. It’s good stuff.
I’m sure there’ll be plenty of repeats here but worth a look anyway……

I think one of the most informative blogs on photography I have run across in a long time is humanitarian photographer David duChemin’s blog pixelatedimage.
http://pixelatedimage.typepad.com/pixelatedimage/
He has just finished writing a series of article about how to market yourself as well many tutorials.
And of course Scott Kelby’s blog is a must for PS users:

this is a really interesting blog about music run by a student at the University of Kentucky. He’s recieved national attention about it, and has gained so much respect from musicians that he now gets flown out to music festivals for free so he can blog about it.
enjoy.

And finally the blog I write I’m quite fond of. I was inspired to create because of your blog and David Hobby on Strobist. It’s a blog for the studio I currently work for. We just put our first multimedia feature. I’m quite proud of it. Check it at http://harderlee.blogspot.com

Check out Jordan Matter. It’s not a blog but he periodically updates his portfolio of headshots and they are a pleasure to look at.
Hi Chase,
Probably not worthy of many of your readers, but a small blog journal of my returning to amateur photography – http://shutter-fug.blogspot.com/ – it’s a bit of a mess of technical stuff and minor experiences which will also end up with me documenting my first small local exhibition in Feb next year (yay!) – it’s a bit quiet ’cause I’ve just mvoed house and plan on chilling over December.
I like what you’re doing/message your giving the community.
This is probably a bit late now but never mind:

If you’ve scrolled to this point, reading comments but are skeptical about adding more blogs, REMOVE THAT SKEPTICISM and ADD YOUR THOUGHTS. This post has hundreds of incoming links and is visited sometimes 1000 times per day. We are building a killer resource here. Keep ADDING!
Thanks, the Management.
