I discovered this blog, more or less, when I first discovered blogs. blogging, and the social web in general, about two years ago. It has remained one of my very favorite blogs for reasons I've frankly never quite understood. It's just little daily glimpses into the mind and life of a smart, reflective, and interesting guy.

(That's not why I like his blog though.) Anyhow, all you aspiring bloggers, read this guy. This has sort of become the paradigmatic blog for me: short, frequent posts; a wide variety of subjects; fluid, interesting writing; and a very personal and reflective style. Having tried this with a couple abortive blogs, I also have an idea how difficult it is to sustain. Keep it up, Jim, and I'm awfully sorry about Fig.
