The Word Works : Blogs : Blogroll

Blogroll

We read and contribute to many other blogs - here’s a selection of our favorites.

Arts & Letters Daily
A portal to what's happening in literary and public debate. Want to keep up? Dive right in.
Edge
John Brockman's Third Culture (1991) introduced me to the idea that smart scientists are becoming today's most important public intellectuals. This is the site where some of them hang out and share what they are thinking.
Prickly Paradigm Press
A treasure trove of sharp, critical thinking that you won't find anywhere else.
Savage Minds: Notes and Queries in Anthropology
Created by a group of young anthropologists, this blog offers IMHO the Web's most sophisticated discussion of topics in social and cultural anthropology.
Science Blogs
A portal to some of the best science writing on the Net today.

BestoftheBlogs
John is one of the cranky curmudgeons of largely leftish views who contribute to this blog created by writer and iconoclast Jerry Bowles.
Democrats Abroad
John and Ruth are Democrats and proud of it. For more than a decade, we have been active members of Democrats Abroad, the branch of the Democratic Party that represents Democrats living and working abroad.
Raising Kaine
Created as an independent site to support Tim Kaine's successful run for Governor of Virginia, Raising Kaine has become John's portal to politics in Virginia, where he grew up, still pays taxes, and is registered to vote.
Tokyo English Life Line
The Word Works is proud to support the work of Tokyo English Life Line (TELL), which for more than 30 years has provided telephone counseling to English-speaking residents of Tokyo. In addition to the Life Line, the TELL Community Counseling Service (TCCS) also provides professional face-to-face counseling.

A List Apart
AListApart is a website for website designers.
Boing Boing
Like millions of other people we can't resist this daily taste of the weirdest and wackiest stuff in technology and popular culture.
Boyink Interactive
Boyink Interactive provides internet consulting and development services to businesses around the world. Mike Boyink helped us design this site. We love him.
Corante
Corante is to marketing what Arts & Letters daily is to scholarship and Science Blogs to science, the place to go for a quick sense of what the gurus are talking about.
Creative Generalist
John says, "No blog title has ever better captured the essence of who I want to be." The next time someone says to you, "Think out of the box," look here for inspiration.
Grant McCracken
Anthropologist and marketer Grant McCracken is one of the most interesting voices in marketing today. John discovered him by teaching his book Culture & Consumption.
Seth Godin
OK, says John, I have to admit it. This site is where I steal all sorts of great ideas about what's happening and how marketers need to respond to it.
