Top Ten Inspiring Blogs of 2005

These blogs are wonderful because they not only remind me why I blog, they also make me want to blog more.

1. Signal vs. Noise. I don’t think these guys ever posted something uninteresting. If you care at all about design and usability- not just on the web, but in life- then you’ll agree with me.

2. The Amateur Gourmet is a great foodblogger because his personality just shines through on every post he writes. His love of food is obvious, and it makes me hungry.

3. Girlspoke blows me away because they’re frank and funny, and as a woman I agree with them on more things than I care to admit.

4. Jessica Zafra is somewhat of a celebrity here in the Philippines. Her writing is smart and witty with a good dose of snarkiness.

5. Pink is the New Blog is a guilty pleasure. Is it the glittery banner, or the neon-coloured text? It’s the gossip, of course.

6. Loobylu won me over with her illustrations, but her blog has so much more than just a pretty face- she writes about art and crafting, yes, but also about life.

7. eyes wide apart is another art blog, by the woman behind those gorgeous illustrations at Joyent.

8. Lifehacker, because it never fails to get me off my ass.

9. Lealea, a blog about the business of design and the web, has me silently nodding my head in agreement very often.

10. Aelon is a video gaming blog that makes me want to stop reading, play a video game, then blog about it.
