11 Things the car thieves didn’t take
11 things the car thieves took

I’ve decided (well with some gentle nudging of others), that in addition to regular feature blogs (Wordless Wednesdays, Things I always Wanted, and Selfless BMX) I am also going to split up certain, longer, topics into parts and tie them all together via related links at the bottom. That way I don’t end up with 2000+ word blogs and I keep you coming back for more like a good drug dealer. So without further adieu here is my first post about blogs worth a look.

The internet is a great way to kill effectively use up time. I keep a pretty good virtual Rolodex of blogs for when I have some spare time to effectively use. I have decided to bust these out into category’s and post my top 3 of each. This time around the category’s are: human stupidity,Nerd, and Music

Human stupidity blogs

Thisiswhyyourefat.com
I have a really unhealthy obsession with this blog almost as unhealthy as the food featured on it. Some of the recipes and pictures on this site are things that I would not mind trying a piece of, while others… well just check it out for yourself. Just maybe before lunch, as if you are going to be sick it’s better to do so on an empty stomach rather than a full one.

Failblog
This blog is amazing, it’s frequently updated with the most ridiculous feats of stupidity every found and collected on the internet. My only gripe is that although all the posts are really funny sometimes you have absolutely no idea what is being said or you wish you had a little bit more information about the video so you have an idea of what happened after.

Engrish Funny
Engrish is poor translations of the English language done by those who don’t fluently speak it. You see it a lot on dollar store merchandise and so forth. Some people also speak it but it’s not really as funny when spoken. This blog is a catalog of the best of written Engrish around the world.

Nerd Blogs

Bamkapow!
I found Bamkapow via digg at work one day and have been hooked ever since. It’s classified as a superhero blog, and the writing and commentary is great, however I feel what really  sets this blog apart  are the themed galleries like this Megan Fox gallery one for example.

Topless Robot
Despite it’s seemingly unsafe for work name, topless is actually very safe for work and really interesting if you are into “Nerd-news, humor, and Self Loathing”. Bam and Topless kind of overlap often in terms of content, but, where Bam has Galleries, Topless has amazing lists. The one about the 10 worst Transformers Rip offs is one of my favorites.

i09
i09 is my first entry from the gawker media network, but expect to seem them pop up in every post in this series. Gawker does a great job of keeping their blogs interesting to read even though others (see above) have access to  the same content.

Music

Nah Right
Nah Right is a hip hop news blog. Since I sit behind a glowing box writing xhtml/css drowning out my office psace depression with headphones I go through new music at an alarming rate. Lucky for me Nah Right pumps out links to new tracks faster than I can listen.

The Digital Undaground
The Digital Undaground is another hip hop blog but they don’t post as much news as they do new albums and songs. Whenever a new album comes out online I check here first. But a word of caution I got a virus from one of the links, so watch out and if you are at work make sure you have admin rights and know how to get rid of viruses.

Bossip
This blog is really just a gossip blog, however it seems to mainly focus on gossip from the music industry so I am going to put it here under music. Admitting I read about celeb gossip from time to time is pretty emasculating but I would rather read bossip then that other blog by that fat ugly dude.

Be sure to check back soon for blogs I check out in the following categories; design, automotive, bmx,gadgets, videogames, and sports.
