Praise for Chris Higgins's MentalFloss Bloggins!
One of my excuses for not blogging more lately is because every time I have a great idea about something bloggable, I give it to Chris Higgins rather than blogging it myself because he's actually paid to blog, and he generally does a better job, anyway. Zip codes? Coyle and Sharpe? That was me.
However, it's worth noting that Higgins has some very good -- even great -- content of his very own, so much so that Mental Floss has become one of the first three websites I look at every day. At first I thought the site was a little corny, but I have grown to like the low-snark, high-science ratio.
I've been thinking lately about snarky and sarcastic sites versus sweet and sincerely sites lately. Like, do you know of any sweet and sincere political blogs? Or any snarky and sarcastic craft blogs? I haven't read any, but maybe I need to get out more. I get really tired of snark sometimes.
Anyway, Higgins regularly links to his MentalFloss entries over at Chrishiggins.com (about every Sunday), but some of my personal recent favorites have been:
- My Credit Card Experiment
- Rephotography (I gave him The Third View project)
- iPhone Versus Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
- 120 Minutes Archive
Please make a note of it!

They put on a little bit o' the snark at A Dress A Day. For instance, regarding a handbag. Not major-league snark, but a good approximation to a rant anyway.
When I consider the idea of a sweet and sincere political blog, I imagine Wonkette only with all the pictures replaced by those from Cute Overload. How's that for a concept?
