It’s BlogDay!

Today — March August(!) 31 — marks Blog Day. It was initiated 3 years ago by Nir Ofir in an effort to get bloggers all over the world better acquainted with each other, expanding all of our areas of interest. Essentially, bloggers recommend 5 sites to celebrate the diversity of opinions that are out here and share those links with their readers. So, here’s my 5:

  • AndroideParanoide – Portuguese blogger “Androide” typically features a provocative and eclectic array of .mp3s and video clips; I don’t speak Portuguese, but “Androide” sometimes posts some musical gems.
  • [daily dose of imagery] – Toronto’s Sam Javanrouh’s photo blog who posts an image a day, documenting his visual experience … extraordinarily beautiful.
  • HypedWorld – blogger Tom Andries posts “everything cool and fresh in the world of tech and entertainment.”
  • OnSimplicity – Sara writes, “if you’re interested in having less but enjoying more, then On Simplicity is written for you.”
  • SwingJazzBlues – blogger/ DJ Henrik Eriksson out of Uppsala, Sweden, highlights photography, music and dance, cd and book reviews.

    Interesting list of blogs. Looking forward to checking out 3 and 4 in particular.

    I’m also from Canada but I’ve never heard of your organization before. Very cool.
