Hi. I just started a blog about how to achieve more, inspired by my normal work (applying engineering principles where they don't belong). If you'd like to have a look, its available at http://laifmanage.blogspot.com.

If anyone has an interesting blog, I'd like to read it. What are you guys writing about?

Cheers!

I've started a blog a couple of months ago. It's about things I encounter while coding/programming (PHP, Flex, AS3, ...) or cool things in Ubuntu and Mac.

But I'm quite busy lately, but I have some good ideas to write about after my exams are done.

I'm currently mailing with the Belgian minister of entrepeneuring (if that is actually a word)/simplifying (yes we actually need that in Belgium) about open source and Linux. His party is called OpenVLD and is pro competition between businesses. There are elections here on June the 7th, so I thought it might be interesting.

I have a linux/ubuntu related blog.

I don't have as much time as I used to have to update it, but there are hundreds of posts, how-to's, ...

Well, that sounds good. I'm from Norway and here open source software is preferred by the government, according to the official policy, although people are not urged to use linux, but all information published electronically be the government must be in open formats. Definitely something good going on in Europe now!

Okay, here is my blog (http://bear-spirit.blogspot.com). Describes much of my interests and it also describes a bit about my life situation. It's a bit depressing at the time, but I insist on seeing life from the light side.

That sounds cool! Maybe I should move to norway then? :D Mostly kidding since I feel a bit scared against big life changes.

Hm... good idea to look at the bright side of life, then... did you take a look at my blog? It's about a system I made to measure personal progress... works for me, if it works for you too, feel welcome to steal it :-)

My blog (http://museverything.wordpress.com/)'s pretty much about whatever's got my attention at the time... I'm using it to improve and refine my writing style, but pageviews are still appreciated!

I had a look at your blog; very nice, indeed. btw, classical music isn't just lalala.... since you are envious of European climate, check out some eastern European classical music. Schostakovich, for example :-)

I tend to write about Linux, GNOME and other assorted bits of technology. Normally a post takes a while to get cooked up since I tend to favor long postings.

I also like to examine problems in computing and give my thoughts on how to solve them.

Finally there is the odd bit of personal news, I don't mind sharing who I am, often doing that gives background for the content I create.

Link can be found in my signature.

Thanks :)

Shostakovich, huh? Meh, might as well. Tchaikovsky can't be the sum total of my Easter European classical experience forever, right?

Mine's mostly about stuff I find in thrift stores, garage sales, and the trash. If you want to see a scary anoscope, I posted a pic. It's from a video about rectal surgery.

I have a blog. But I won't be giving a link because it is used entirely for the purpose of ranting. Maybe after I've set up Wordpress on my new server I'll tell you all about it.

My blog isn't 100% consistently themed. Most of my posts are Linux- or computer-related, but I also blog about feminism, race theory, everyday interesting things that happen, and movies. My most recent posts are about Linux software being difficult to install and the HP MIE interface not living up to the hype.

Mostly computer-related, since it is part of my business website.

I write about technical topics of all sorts. Recently, I wrote a post about encrypting Dropbox with EncFS (http://pragmattica.wordpress.com/2009/05/10/encrypting-your-dropbox-seamlessly-and-automatically/), and it ended up hanging around on the front page of linux.reddit.com for a day or so.

I blog about various tech news, and often about censorship. Every now and again about religion, but I try to keep it civil and respectful to sensible believers, it's mainly religious nuts I blog about.

A link to my blog is in my sig. It is actually a Google Site, but I consider it a blog. I don't have much content yet, but definitely be sure to check out the "About" page. Oh, and it's about guides, how-to's, news, and general info about GNU/Linux/Ubuntu

I use my website/blog as my personal playground. I rant, pontificate, whatever. Pictures, funny quotes, no specific point really, just whatever strikes me at the time.

I wonder what's up with all these sites that want you to blog there... When I made my Launchpad account, there's a place for you to blog. On Linux.com they offer one. On the Ubuntu Social Network (http://myubuntu.ning.com) (which is way-kewl by the way) you can blog, (and every social network you join there offers yet another blog). If I blogged at every one of them, I'd be writing all the time!

But it's kinda cool, I guess, to blog about Linux on a Linux-oriented site, and sensory overload on my Asperger's syndrome network site, religion on my favorite religious website. I dunno if I'll bother with a blog on every one of those. Until now my little Xanga (http://robinzrantz.xanga.com) has room for all my rants on all those subjects.

Well, I have a blog but I just write something I like, or something happened in my life. Also, I forward some article about the network security.

I blog (http://ihatehate.wordpress.com) about computers and linux and technology (the links in my sig lead to posts there), plus politics, crime, drugs, current affairs, weirdness... whatever happens to fall out of my head.

Unfortunately I haven't posted much lately - a combination of being lazy and busy. But an influx of new readers might inspire me to get off my backside and do more </hint>
