gor[b] Paul Gorbould: Words and Pictures

Out with the old

A brief housekeeping note: I'm cleaning out the blogroll, and it's time to purge those who have broken faith.

So:

• Farewell to Sinister Dan's The Reasonable Ego (great writing, but it stalled last March)
• Arrivederci to CJ's bh'log (no tears: she's now getting paid to blog for FoodTV)
• Buh bye to Florence Hwang (deleted - we barely knew ye!)

And I'm putting these CBC bloggers on notice:

• Dan Misener
• Erich Schmidt
• Robin Rowland

Publish or perish, friends!

A few other updates: Tod Maffin's link moves from his disused personal blog to his tech column; I've added Joe Clark's Fawny and Peter Janes' Petroglyphs.

As a rule, I only link to lesser-known, non-commercial blogs that are regularly updated, and that I regularly read. While I often read them, I don't think I need to link to smart guys like Neil Gaiman and Douglas Rushkoff and Clive Thompson and Cory Doctorow. Nor do I bother blogrolling the ubiquitous Boing Boing, or sites I read for fun, like Daily Snopes or Eric Karabell's wonderful fantasy sports blog.

No shortage of stuff to read. Still, if you've got a blog I should be reading, or a link I'd enjoy, please let me know about it!
