Best of the Blogs

New feature I'm going to try and incorporate more often in the same spirit as Friday's Alt-Tabs of the week. Best of the Blogs is going to be a compilation of blog posts that caught my eye over the course of a couple days.  I try not to step on the toes of blogs I read creatively but that results in a lot of content I consider blog-worthy being skipped over. Instead I'll just publish them here. For the most part I'm going to focus on smaller less known blogs, they need love too.


Top 10 Moments Caught on Google Maps Street View- Pretty self explanatory, enjoy.

Bryant Gumbel is Mystified by this "internet thing" -This clip made the rounds yesterday, Bryan Gumbel spitefully discussing the burgeoning internet in 1994, and mocking his staffs communication skills on air.  Odd that even back then mainstream media was fearful and grumpy about the internet.

10 Beers to Stop Drinking at Age 30 -Not sure I can completely reconcile their disclaimer of "Eschewing these brews and then becoming a beer snob is perhaps the most reprehensible of acts. Just order your beer and drink it."  Pretty much when you eliminate beers based on price you've hit Beer Snob status. It's just a fact. None the less it's an entertaining read and a pretty succinct list of cheap brews for all the underemployed, unemployed, college students, and under 30 people out there.  Glad I'm not over the hill yet.  Also glad PBR and Bud Light didn't make the list, I'd be prepping for war right no instead of another 20 inches of snow.
