Blogs worth subscribing to
Eirik Solheim asked me to provide a list of five favorite blogs after listing herrklein.com as an awesome blog on eirikso.com.The rules are as follows: no community blogs, and they must be written in English. Here are the five blogs that I ended up recommending:
- Information Aesthetics
The beauty of visualisation and visual communication by Andrew Vande Moere. - Daring Fireball
Mac nerdery, etc. by John Gruber. - Geisha Asobi Blog
I love Japan and (almost) everything japanese, but I have yet to go there. This blog by Asobi Tsuchiya features beautiful, fun, weird and crazy japanese stuff. - Technabob
A blog for new gadgets, games, gizmos and other weird science by Paul Strauss. - Future Perfect
A blog by Jan Chipchase, a developer of future mobile services for Nokia.
Eirikso.com has been mentioned earlier, otherwise he would surely have been on the list. And I would like to second Eirik’s recommendation of Øyvind Solstad’s brilliantdays (and the Norwegian blog NRKbeta).If we put the rule about listing only non-community blogs aside, there are many others that I would recommend. And without repeating the ones already mentioned elsewhere, here are a few of the community blogs that I subscribe to:
- Core77 Blog
Industrial design supersite Core77’s blog. - Signal vs. Noise
A blog about design, business, experience, simplicity, the web, culture, and more. - Brand New
Opinions on corporate and brand identity work. - TechCrunch
A weblog dedicated to obsessively profiling and reviewing new Internet products and companies. - Gizmondo
Gadgets! - Inventorspot
Serious fun for the inventor in all of us - Authentic Boredom
Mobile web design blog.
There are of course a lot of great blogs written in other languages than English, and these are some of my favorites:
- 2010
Norwegian interaction design blog by Helge Tennø. - Designerblog
Italian graphical design blog. - Motiongraphics
Italian motion graphics blog. - Macfeber
Swedish Mac blog (the whole feber.se network is great).
Since no list is ever complete, I would be very happy for suggestions to other great blogs to add to my subscription list.

Thanks, that’s very kind. Brilliantdays has been a bit neglected lately, sorry about that. So many projects, so little time. I’m working on a big update, but need to sort out a pile of things first…

I should be the first to be forgiving about infrequent updates. This autumn I’m a full time father with very little time for updating this blog.
Looking forward to your big update!

Thanks for the mention! Let me know if you end up manufacturing those alien abduction lamps, and I’ll be sure to give you some free press.

Best regards,
