Top 5 Friday - Blog feeds

Here's the top 5 geeky blogs i'm enjoying at the moment:

Crash Course: John and Hank Green explain History and Biology to you in the most entertaining way I have seen anywhere.  The Green brothers already have an amazing vlog series and a whole community of Nerd Fighters, but Crash Course is by far my favourite. DFTBA.

One Thing Well: A great site that posts about software around the world which focus on doing one particular thing really well.

It's Okay to Be Smart: An energetic blog about the amazing stuff going on in the world of science, and just general wonderfulness.

Geek and Sundry: New series founded different internet geeks such as Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton.  Many types of geekery abound here, distilled into nice short video segments.  Which brings me to...

Wil Wheaton: I never watched Star Trek all that much, nor have I seen "Stand by Me", so I have no reference point for Wil's original celebrity status, I just know he's a funny, intelligent blogger who gets passionate about interesting things, and has defined a fundmental law of society.

Top 5 Friday - Blog feeds

I love RSS feeds.  I follow way too many.  Here's a top 5 i'm enjoying at the moment:

Austin Kleon's Scrapbook blog: Austin already has a a great blog of his own work, but he's also got a tumblr feed where he posts interesting and inspiring stuff he finds.

XKCD: Don't let the simple stick-figures fool you.  This is one of the best online comic strips today.  Make sure to hover your mouse over the image for the alt text closing words.

Derren Brown: Illusionist and painter.  What makes his blog great however is that it doesn't just cover magic and painting.  He has a very dedicated team (predominantly two called Phillis and Abeo) who post numerous interesting articles across a range of curious topics.

Parka Blogs: A great art book review site.  What separates his review style from most is the amount of images he posts of the pages alongside a video of actually flipping through the book content. When you're thinking of purchasing an art book this is very useful.

MAKE Magazine: Because I just love the maker community.  So many cool and fun projects going on with everything from art to technology.
