A few of my favorites:
The case for open source Judaism and the true nature of God. Also, South Park references.
The Greeting Card Octopus, Net Neutrality Moms, and the difference an apostrophe makes.
I’m still the luckiest guy in the world.
Turkelectronics, a worry free histo-tainment experience, that episode of The A-Team where Boy George played himself.
When black and white history isn’t: Olaudah Equiano, Emma Dunham Kelley-Hawkins, and Sally Hemings.
Most recent posts:

American Memory archives + members of Skinny Puppy + multimedia + post-industrial music = some damn cool I don’t know what. (Douglas Rushkoff explains a bit.)
Robo-Theorizing
Bill Benzon on Astro Boy and the robot as subaltern. Hat tip to The Constructivist–but which of his blogs to link to?

Slow and low, that is the tempo. Hat tip to Dan Cohen.
