Blogs I Dig

I actually read a bunch of blog each day. I used to use Google Reader, but since that is no long available, I have switched to Feedly. I'm liking it, and it's fairly customizable which is great. Blogs are like having tons of free magazines! Some I have been following for so long I feel like I know the authors. I read all sorts of blogs, including design types. I enjoy reading them in the morning with a hot cup of coffee or tea in hand. 

If any of you have another blog that you think I should be reading please let me know! And I will add it to my list!

Design Blogs

The design blog section is my biggest list. Mostly because they tend to be quite visual, and of course I love all things design. I also enjoy imagining living in some of these spectacular places, and then trying to figure how I can adapt an idea to fit my more modest dwellings. 

• Comtemporitst - I have been reading this blog for many years now. Great modern house tours from around the world and modern furniture and design.
• Design Sponge - A great visual blog that looks at many aspects of interior design.
• Young House Love - One family's journey on renovating their home. Lots of house projects and how to do guides.
• Home Designing - Amazing modern home interiors, lots of photographs to looks at for ideas.
• My Marrakesh - This is a design blog, but also could fall under travel, as she talks about living in Morocco. I enjoy reading this one because of my love of Moroccan design.

Food Blogs

Who doesn't love food! Quite often the recipes I find off these blogs are far superior to the ones in my cook books. And it's fun to see the process through the wonderful photographs.

• Edible Perspective - A great food blog, lots of amazing recipes and all about the authors life as well. I have enjoyed many of her recipes over the years.
• Thug Kitchen - This one is quite amusing, taking good healthy food recipes and making them hard core. Not suitable is you don't like a lot of profanity. But it's done in a humorous way, trying to bring heathy food to a new audience. 

Travel

I need to find some more great travel related blogs. I have followed a few others but they have either stopped posting or stopped writing about travel and it didn't interest me anymore. I do really enjoy these ones, both have fascinating stories!

• Digital Nomad - A National Geographic explorer blogging about his travel experiences throughout the world. Amazing story teller!
  
• Frances Mayes - The real woman behind Under the Tuscan Sun. She blogs about her adventures in Italy and of her villa Bramasole.

Science

I have always had a fascination with all things to do with science and history. I read a few blogs that fall into these genres. 

• Royal Ontario Museum - I read this blog for my love of archaeology and history, but also because I used to work here and it's great to keep up with what's happening.
• NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory - I love anything to do with space! If I had another lifetime I might become an aerospace engineer. I enjoy reading this blog for this reason, but also because they often post photos from their archives which I find really interesting.
• Marc Ensign - This one isn't really about science, but all about social media and possibly its evils. A lot he has to say about our world is quite true and a breathe of fresh air.

Comics

I read of a couple of comical blogs too, just for fun!

• The Oatmeal - A comic that speaks often of our society, and of the author's life.
• What's Different in Canada - I came across this one day and started following it. The author is a Canadian living in the United States. Each post is about something that is different between the two countries.
