It's BlogDay, or so I'm Told!

According to my sources, today, August 31, is officially BlogDay.  The purpose is help us move beyond the blogs we already know and love and find a few new ones.  Anyone can play.  If you don't have a blog, feel free to list your fab five as comments below.  Here are the official rules:

1. Find 5 new Blogs that you find interesting
2. Notify the 5 bloggers that you are recommending them as part of BlogDay 2007
3. Write a short description of the Blogs and place a link to the recommended Blogs
4. Post the BlogDay Post (on August 31st) and
5. Add the BlogDay tag

So without further adieu, here are five blogs that I've discovered recently:

Post Punk Kitchen

I just started reading Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Veganism with a Vengeance this week. Who knew veganism could be so hip, so now, so fun?  PPK is her website.

The Bamboo Project

Michele Martin offers up ideas and conversation about the issues that nonprofit leaders like myself think about a lot.  Topics include technology, professional development, and marketing.  She manages to keep it very human, very real.

Hahn at Home

Lori cracks me up. Somehow I felt that she and I were friends the first time I read her blog.

LesbianDad

Okay I'm cheating.  This blog is not new to me at all, but I am continually so impressed, interested, and inspired by what Polly has to say, that I snuck it into my list.  Rules are for breaking, right?

ZenHabits

For me, this blog is analogous to magazines you might read in the doctor's waiting room or on the exercise bike, but I find it reassuring.  True Confession!

That's my five.  Choosing them was harder than I expected!

Over at Big Window, I'm going to try to choose 5 favorite photoblogs, if you're interested.  Happy Labor Day weekend!

Thank you Robin! I'm humbled by your accolades. And need to tap in to your sources: it was only from your kind nod that I found out about Blog Day, a day late and a dollar short, etc.! Thank you, too for a whole batch of fresh reading.
