Favorite blogs
TheZoo was created by a group of friends from ThinkProgress, who decided to get together and create a blog...a great bunch of people with something intelligent to say. Their posts are insightful and will leave you with a sense that you've come away smarter than you went in.
Thoughts on the Middle East, History, and Religion by Juan Cole, President of the Global American Institute. Professor Cole is the definitive statement on the Middle East. There is none better.
Shinya Kimura is a bike builder/artist extraordinaire. For those who don’t follow the whole custom bike scene, Shinya's work resides at the very top of the heap. He is Japanese born and founded Zero Engineering in Japan. He and his partner Ayu now work out of his shop, Chabott Engineering, in Azusa, CA. He is the very best.
