[META] Still more blogs on my blogroll

[rfmcdonald]

I know that the speed and scale of this week's blogroll expansion is significant indeed, perhaps akin to that of a uchronical European Union that had decided to expand to include such cities as Tirane, Vladivostok, and Diyarbakir by 1995. In my defense, all these are very good blogs.

• Phil Plait's blog Bad Astronomy is a famous blog, one that not only takes a look at the wonders of outer space but one that deconstructs superbly ridiculous claims, like the one suggesting that the Jupiter probe Galileo's end-of-life collision with Jupiter was intended to trigger stellar ignition, terraforming the Jovian moons and bombarding the Earth with debris, in order to demonstrate that God didn't exist. Or something.


• Dan Hirschman's A (Budding) Sociologist's Commonplace Book is a blog interested, among other things, in the concept of "economics," how it got started and how it was used.


• The Grumpy Academic is the weblog of an American sociologist concerned with all manner of things relating to Asia, especially Southeast Asia, with a focus on sports.


• Kieran Healy's Weblog is, as it happens, the blog of Crooked Timber contributor Kieran Healy.


• My dear friend Erin Gallé's Lost & Found shows how wonderfully a person can engage with art and with this city.
