Snarky Behavior

Megan, the president of my blog’s fan club, recently told me that my “blog-roll” of friends is lame, because most of them don’t post anymore.

I insist that it’s not lame, because they’re actually my friends. Like, I know them in real life. And maybe by introducing them, it’ll be a swift kick to get them to start writing again [cough, cough, prostate check].

The Cynic (Series)
“The Cynic” is a series of graphic comics written and illustrated by my previously mentioned friend from high-school, Vicky.

She’s got a Bill Watterson brand of story-lines that I love, and her character sketches are really sharp. Vicky is also a cross-over, in that she can explore both sides of the social/geeky divide represented by UCLA’s north and south campuses.

Emotional Diarrhea

“Emotional Diarrhea” is the blog of my roommate Ross. He had what I consider to be a brilliant idea… basically a twitterized live-journal, posting the highlight of his every day. He’s such an active and random guy that most of the posts are quite hilarious (see: viz.).

Expialadoshous

This is a new venture for my friend Adosh, and he’s doing quite well for himself. His blog started as a travel journal through Argentina, Ecuador and Chile, but he’s decided to keep writing– much to my delight, as he cracks me up regularly. We’ll see how long he lasts before he goes to Shark School at UMinny.

Jews Gone Wild

Another travel blog of my buddy Misha, who recently fulfilled his birth-right and visited the holy-land with a group of obnoxious American tourists. I haven’t discussed with him his plans for the future, but I’d like it if he’d transition his blog into some serious policy analysis, since he’s a super smart guy, pursuing permanent head damage in Economics at Stanford.

Neuroethics & Law Blog (Murphy)

Speaking of super smart people at Stanford, my dear friend Emily Murphy is a post-doc in Neuroethics in (East) Palo Alto. She’s a contributor to this blog, and the subject matter is mostly way over my head…or is it in my head??? I’ll let you think on that.

Paul in Ecuador

Brother Paul is the man– a fellow OCer out in the bush for Peace Corps. His storytelling skills are amazing, his humor endearing, and his blog a must-read for anyone who wants a cross-section of the Peace Corps experience in Latin America.

Placido Flamingo’s Apologia

Placido Flamingo is twice my snark, but half as filling. POST MORE PLEASE. And no selling out with videos I send you, ’tis cheating.

Rohit’s Realm

Rohit’s Realm is a special place… I’ve been a longtime reader of his and truth be told it was his consistency and thought provocation that inspired me to try this on my own. Rohit has a unique ability to apply corporate and academic principles and observations to everyday social situations. He could write a hand-book to replace “Murphy’s Laws,” since those are all outdated anyway.

The Prime Minister has a Camera

Prime Minister Chu’s photo blog. Some of her pics from Mumbai, India really remind me of Havana, Cuba. Definitely worth a browse… and an UPDATE.

That’s all I’ve got. If you’re my real friend and you’d like me to add you to my blog-roll, I’d be much obliged.
