woodblock100 (User #53371) has one of the nicest looking user sites I've seen since I started this blog. David Bull is a woodblock printmaker living in Tokyo. His blog shows off his work (too many examples to list, but I like the scroll project and the Hanga Treasure Chest). David also has a woodblock webcam and a lengthy subsite about the progression of his work.
wallstreet1929 (User #30785) - in his own words, John Taylor "obsessively resurrects forgotten vessels of America's maritime fleet." He's got a one-post blog, but his main site has great photos inlcuding my personal favorites, the penguins and Ark 3.
snofoam (User #29097) came to my attention via his amusing entry in the snake music challenge. I went to his blog Everyone Loves Free Stuff (hey, I sure do) and found it much more fun than your usual marketing and schwag linkfarm. In fact, Mark's been at it two years as of this week and posted 600 entries which is damned near one a day. Lots of neat stuff in here, dig around.
obedo (User #11588) has a link blog called XTEZE that he updates fairly frequently with interesting stuff mostly centered around the sciences. There are also some decent programming resources. It's all pretty transparent. And check out his cool, texture-centric, Flickr stream.
gregorg's (User #18194) greg.org is a great site about (mostly) modern art and film and video. His reviews and observations are well-presented and interesting, and he's got some real gems (like an interview with Errol Morris). I like that today when I came across the site the lead article was about the Richard Serra show at MOMA, as I've been sending out a series of postcards commemorating Tilted Arc lately. This is a website worth spending some time reading, but it isn't light or quickly digested.
christine (User #639) has a sweet little website called maganda. I like the design, which isn't a surprise, as she also runs Darling design & illustration. The nicest parts of her website are her link to her Flickr stream, and her intermittent and brief blog.
Joey deVilla (User #15623) got a little famous this week for his Craiglist wedding post and follow-ups (here) but he's been around and blogging since November 2001, practically the blogging stone ages. You can browse by categories such as accordion instrument of the gods or possibly just the accordion category which has one post with this excellent photo. With 5,000 posts, you might need the Best Of page to help you find some more good stuff.
coldmarble (User #8458) is a photographer who lives in Baltimore. Precisely the kind of serendipitous find that I was hoping for. His website is predominantly pictures of the cemeteries of Charm City, which is just fine with me. I've run a lot through the Baltimore Cemetery, and I love the William Tell statue there. In the nature of these things, his IR photos of the Druid Ridge cemetery (which, unfortunately, does not seem to be the cemetery I run past in Druid Hill Park), are pretty goth. The blog hasn't been updated in a while, but scrolling down produces a nice list of Baltimore bloggers.
jasonlatshaw's (User #26695) site is for the band for which he is the lead singer, The Look Machine. There are links to merchandise and an mp3 version of their new album. There are several songs available for download. They're all very earnest and heartfelt.
punkrockrat (User #3008) shut down fed-up.com after ten years, just this month. Seems he's no longer fed up. You can still look at some kitten pictures ripe for lolcatting and a photo of him with G.G. Allin. He's got some great photos of the Buffalo Central Terminal up on Flickr.
noloveforned (User #39526) is an internet radio sensation. The noloveforned website is a treasure trove of five years of archived radio shows and in-studio performances.
YoBananaBoy (User #42191) has a website that claims that "every bit is fiction". It's split into categories that make this seem true: reading, memorize, fiveminutequickhit &c, but the presence of the people in the writing is so real, so true-seeming, that I was sure it was a personal blog until I got to the tagline.
"Don’t tell someone to fuck off if you can’t live with the consequences," it tells me, and that seems pretty true to me.
Gideon (User #45056) has a very 2.0-ish looking site at religionism.net about religious topics generaly, but more about how people search for meaning. It's a deep site, covering topics ranging from Wittgenstein to the philosophy of intelligent design and even some GTD stuff like 5 steps to exercising your academic brains…. He's also a new contrinbutor to BlogCritics. His first post A Theistic Dfense of Atheism, deserves a close read.
geekyguy (User #14813) Olen Sanders is in China. His main website is a portal to other smaller part of his site, but his blog talking about being in China is elsewhere. His Naked in China photos are elsewhere still, but this photo of his is my favorite.
