December Favorites

Here are my favorite blogs for December 2008 and why I like them (in the order of my discovering them).

Summer Diary

This is the wittiest blog I’ve read, very funny, and entertaining. You half forget that anything else exists in this world when you read Jack. My favorite post is “Chapter 14“. He doesn’t seem to have posted anything recently.

Definitely Maybe

Definitely Maybe is updated rarely, but everytime Kenneth write’s something, it touches you. My favorite post is “Strawberry Swing…..“

Untitled

Cheeky title for a blog but Chittz is awesome. There is a certain sadness in most of her work. What I admire most is her flow. The narration just flows. There is no other word for it. My favorite post is “Plastic Christmas Tree“

Contemplation Glints

There is only one word to describe what Goldhawk writes. Brilliant. Her plots are always things you’ve heard of somewhere, but her treatment is brilliant. Favorite post, “Conjuncture“

The Loony Lampoonist

Foogarky deserves an award for his imagination. His characters are wild. Among all the fiction blogs I’ve read, he is the most different. Favorite post, “The Scene Changer“

Kafkaesque

Aditya never blasts anything or hold’s anything high. In that way I think he is a very balanced reviewer. And he seems to read prolificly.

Rekindled Imaginations

Ha ha ha. Arjun must be among the funniest bloggers alive. His style of story telling is anecdotal, you think that these stories may be true. His most recent post however seems to be tragic. My favorite post, “Totally Jammed…!!“

Blogging Mp3s

If you’re in the situation I was in some time back – trying to post Poetic on my blog – you are confused. I’ll tell you how I managed to do it finally (ha!, anything can be done for free on the net).

I’ll explain the situation i was in first.

1. I did not want a pod cast, because managing multiple email accounts, a couple of blogs, a youtube profile, etc, becomes complex and frustrating. A pod cast will just make it even more so. Moreover, I don’t upload frequently.

2. I didn’t want to download free plugins. I didn’t have my own server to install it on anyway.

3. I wanted a simple single line – single file – player.

4. I needed a free mp3 host.

The page for the mp3 player code I used (html – compatible with blogger, and probably wordpress posts) is here.

The page for uploading your mp3s and getting a link is here.

Tell me if you face any problems.
