Blog buddies... (Part 1)

People blogroll, tag, trackback and do all sorts of things to keep track of their fav blogs. But, when one has a bum as lazy as mine, the thought of adding a user account to blogroll / technorati and all that, is pretty much thrown out of the window. But there are some blogs which I NEVER miss to check out. Here's part I of this series...

1. Sabarish R. (here) : 5/5 for this blog. One look at it, and one can see the effort and creativity of the person. One of my earliest blog buddy, I make it a point to check out his blog everyday. Apart from some good blog posts, some tech, some non-tech, I check out his 'Recent books' section regularly and also roam around the blogsphere using the links in his 'Blogs I read' section. Almost every post results in a comment dropping from me, and on one fantastic occasion, nearly started a flame war :-P.

2. Sharath M.S. (here) : Caught on to this blog via Sab's blog. Generally posts on timepass topics. Not very techie.. so can relax and read through. Watch out for some kewl background graphics on this blog. Professionally designed, the red and black color combi takes the cake! And check out the August 15th 'When Doordarshan ruled...' post.. it's the best.

3. Sunil (here) : The graphics blow me down!. Vibrant colors.. like Sharath, this fellow seems to be a photoshop expert. More tech content than non tech, which I now feel is going to be migrated here. After reading about Wordpress on his blog, I ventured into it to start my own tech blog there.

4. Roumen Strobl (here) : The master of Netbeans, and the wizard of tutorials. This blog is by far the best at Sun blogs site. The guy's on a mission to make Netbeans rock, and looking by the way he is going... he will surely get there... I caught on to netbeans and matisse through this blog. 5/5!

5. Geertjan (here) : Roumen's accomplice.. this guy focuses on Netbeans platform aspects. And the amazing thing is, I mailed him for some help and he came up with a fantastic tutorial series about the subject on his blog. He's the master!

That's the list (for now). Got atleast 15 more blog links to talk about. Some are dead serious, some whacky, and some are downright useless (like this blog). Will be catching up on them in days to come.
