I feel fortunate to know so many talented people on MySpace and elsewhere.  In case any readers of this blog are unfamiliar with some of the creative projects of some of the other bloggers/contributors I thought I'd make some introductions.  Let me start off with ten for today, hoping to pick up this thread another time.  (If I have left out anyone's projects please forgive the omission--let me know and I'll try to mention them in a future post.)

1.  Wiffledust, organized by the talented Lisa Ferreri, sponsors artistic and musical events both online and in real life.  (I was fortunate enough to attend a real-life Wiffledust concert yesterday by the wonderful singer/songwriter Buddy Mondlock).  They have just put together a new website highlighting their artistic endeavors:
Wiffledust Online

2.  "Cape Cod" is a very clever singer/composer from Glasgow, Scotland and has been especially prolific in recent weeks:
 Cape Cod Acoustic

3.  Davin Flateau, an astronomer and astronomy educator, maintains a blog that is a stunning mixture of poetic and astronomical insights:
The Perfect Silence

4.  For all matters scientific, covered with ample humor, I would turn to Michael Gross, who writes in English and German.  His recent book "The Birds, the Bees and the Platypuses" offers an ideal introduction to the diversity of his writings. Check out his website:
Prose and Passion

5.  I have been fortunate to get to know the amazing art, music and writings, as well as the bubbling optimism of Lisa Tenzin-Dolma.  She is also an expert in animal psychology, amongst her many talents:

6.  Insightful writer Peter D. Smith, author of Doomsday Men, reviews book for the Guardian and maintains a fascinating blog:
Kafka's Mouse

7.  I am always amazed by blogger Ivy's insights about progressive rock, philosophy, science, books and other topics:
Ivy's Blog

8.  For a diverse range of ideas about science fiction, Penn and Teller, life in Canada, cooking, relationships and countless other areas I would recommend:
Hey Red (Amanda)

9.  For engaging critiques of politics, religion and other topics, there's:
Brian the Dilettante

10.  String is an inspiring writer with spectacular insights about life, music, art and the universe:
Creative Alchemy
Cape Cod

Thanks so much, String.  I got the idea from Twitter, which has a tradition of "Follow Friday" - recommending other people's writings each Friday.
