Some linkage with your morning coffee.
I have about 5 minutes this morning, so I'd like to quickly plug a few sites that I really like.
I found out about The Morningside Post because they (strangely enough) link to me, and I recently noticed some traffic from there. It's an extremely well written blog, by way of SIPA, that features informative and topical commentary on numerous foreign affairs issues. The blog is communally written by several very talented graduate students from SIPA, and occasionally features interesting guest bloggers. While most of the content appears to be in the international category , there is some excellent reporting on local issues, as well as various happenings at SIPA.
Scott Aaronson's blog got mentioned in one of the comments, but I wanted to feature it more prominently here. He is a really excellent writer, and I think that this is one of my favorite math/computer science blogs out there. His writing is funny and intelligent, and I think that you'll have a good time even if you don't care about Turing or hyperfractals.
Frankly, I can’t determine just how popular The Eddie Kranepool Society blog really is. I used to read it religiously (and somewhat subversively) a while ago, when I used to spend my evenings pondering Jason Giambi's OBP, and Soriano's strikeout ratio. Now, I check in about once a week. There is a lot of content (a new post almost every day), and it's one of my favorite Mets blogs out there.
Well, there you go. Hope that's something for everyone.

thanks for the links, irina. my issue with blogs like that sipa one is that they are good while they last. but once all those people graduate or finish whatever class/project initiated the blog, the blog will be gone. it happens all the time with pages like that especially if they are maintained by more than one person.
I like the amazin avenue blog, which is actually the new sabermets blog. I think the kranepool blog is too optimistic. :)

thanks good links. i have scott aaronson's blog bookmarked but i always forget to check in. i should really make better use of rss.
Irina I don't know if you ever saw this site, but it's a really good one and I read it all the time - it's called bitchphd and is written by an anonymous professor. She writes about a lot of feminist issues so I'm sure that you'll have plenty to argue about!

Jane, I think I'm banned from that blog, because of a joke I made a little while ago.
google is the good search engine.
