&lt;p&gt;      I like this kinda&amp;nbsp; threads.&amp;nbsp; So easy to contribute without thinking , being creative and what not, yet still feel a part of the community!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I confess these are not my most frequently read, but if i had to be stuck with 3, these would likely be them....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/"&gt;How to Save the World&lt;/a&gt; - Dave Pollard. Somewhat Leftist. Canadian. Vegan.&amp;nbsp; Want's to Save the World, is not so optimistic about it, but is doing what he can anyway.&amp;nbsp; Kinda like me , but with a moustache and twice the brain cells.&amp;nbsp; Oh, he doesn' like KW so much, but I don't hold that against him...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.vegsource.com/blog/"&gt;Blog Plate Special&lt;/a&gt; - Vegsource.com's blog on all things veg*n, health and environment.&amp;nbsp; I know there I'll always find things that reinforce my ideas.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mindhacks.com/"&gt;Mind Hacks&lt;/a&gt; - Like the book of the same name, covers interesting things related to the brain,mind and behaviour. Actually it's toss up between that and&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://www.gnxp.com/"&gt;Gene Expression.&lt;/a&gt; Evolutionary psychology, genetics, human behaviour - rather right wing and controversial tho...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      oooooooo - this is a really, really difficult thing to answer because it does shift depending on what is being written about or what os going on in my living . . . right now, these three feel like sustanence to me:

-  &lt;a href= " http://herablehands.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Her Able Hands&lt;/a&gt;  

- &lt;a href= " http://www.cyberjazzdaddy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;CyberJazzDaddy&lt;/a&gt;  

- &lt;a href= " http://mypaperplates.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Paolo's Paperplates estate&lt;/a&gt;

They just make me feel good to read :) &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      Kosmic Bloggers, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's use this thread to list our Top Three (3) Blogs. Why only three when there are thousandsof blogs that I read every day, you ask? Consider this as time for reflection. Take your time to pick your top three, then &lt;em&gt;give a brief reason why&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll start...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.rebeccablood.net/"&gt;Rebecca's Pocket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;She's the blogging goddess who &lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2003/11/rebecca_blood_a.html"&gt;wrote the manual on bodhisattvic blogging&lt;/a&gt; without using Buddhist or Integral jargon.  Reading &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/073820756X/ref=ase_coolmel-20/002-3901414-0330408?v=glance&amp;amp;s=books"&gt;Rebecca Blood&amp;rsquo;s &lt;em&gt;The Weblog Handbook&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, learned everything I need to know about &amp;ldquo;blogging with compassion&amp;rdquo; in one sitting.  &lt;p&gt;Reading Rebecca&amp;rsquo;s book was an eye opener. Finally, a blogger who understands what compassion means. Her advice on blogging is what I&amp;rsquo;ve envisioned to do with my blogging&amp;mdash;&lt;br /&gt; - to be a &lt;a href="http://www.rebeccablood.net/essays/ten_tips.html"&gt;&amp;ldquo;better writer&amp;rdquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - to expand &lt;a href="http://www.rebeccablood.net/think.html"&gt;&amp;ldquo;self-awareness&amp;rdquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - to be a &lt;a href="http://www.rebeccablood.net/think.html"&gt;&amp;ldquo;Critical Thinker&amp;rdquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - to use blogging superpowers &lt;a href="http://www.rebeccablood.net/talks/waging_peace.html"&gt;&amp;ldquo;for good&amp;rdquo;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; - and to link with &lt;a href="http://kosmicbloggers.blogspot.com/"&gt;kindred souls&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href="http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/"&gt;The Dilbert Blog&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Dilbert is my &lt;a href="http://coolmel.typepad.com/iblog/2006/02/dilbert_my_corp.html"&gt;Corporate Bodhisattva&lt;/a&gt;. Scott Adams&amp;rsquo;s Dilbert made my Divine discontent a little bearable, amusing even. It made me laugh at the &lt;a href="http://www.thecorporation.com/"&gt;silliness of the corporate domain&lt;/a&gt;. It made me ponder on my own &lt;a href="http://coolmel.zaadz.com/blog/2006/2/existential_memoir_at_zaadz"&gt;pawn-like existence&lt;/a&gt;. It inspired me to do my own inquiries. It helped me exorcise my own &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href="http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/desktop_diversions/html/wallpaper.html"&gt;demons of stupidity&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;rdquo; Those of us who had the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dilbert_Principle"&gt;Dilbert Experience&lt;/a&gt; couldn&amp;rsquo;t help but be awed by the Zen-like prowess of Scott Adams. The way he packs humor, sarcasm, and wisdom into three frames of comic strip reminds us how those Zen masters weaved their mystical haikus and calligraphy with flawless strokes of passion and compassion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h1&gt;&lt;a href="http://dilbertblog.typepad.com/"&gt;Boing Boing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt; The &lt;a href="http://www.technorati.com/pop/blogs/"&gt;most popular blog&lt;/a&gt; in the world. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoingBoing"&gt;Cyber activism&lt;/a&gt; at its finest. Staunch supporters of &lt;a href="http://www.free-culture.cc/"&gt;The Free Culture&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.creativecommons.org"&gt;Creative Commons&lt;/a&gt;. And it really is &lt;a href="http://www.boingboing.net/"&gt;A Directory of Wonderful Things&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There. It's your turn...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
