Thom Robbins .NET Weblog

Thom Robbins is owner of the .NET Weblog.

He lives in Bedford, New Hampshire. His archives go back to August 2004. The subtitle identifies this as "A blog of the technical and sometimes uneventful side of programming in .NET and life within Microsoft."

Not being a programmer or a .NET geek, it would be unfair of me to say whether Thom is offering some useful information.

On the other hand, 83,235 people have visited his site since January 23, 2006. Thats a pretty good indicator that it is popular.

The Zen of Motorcycling

M.R. (Montauk Rider), the owner of The Zen of Motorcycling, is a 50ish Manchester New Hampshire male blogger who likes jazz, opera, motorcycles, touring, travel and the fascinating people along the way....

Written in diary fashion, I was pleasantly surprised (well, surprised in the way when you pick up a rock and discover its really a small diamond) at what I read.

Although most of the entries are short and sweet, scattered here and there are things I'd never thought about, such as "Like snowflakes, no two Springs are exactly alike." (How True).

Intermingled are photographs of many places he stops along the way.

M.R. also has a photostream.

Vroom Vroom, definitely worth at least one stop.

South Street

Rick Broussard, of Concord NH, occasionally posts to South Street, and has maintained this blog since January 2005.

A very busy guy, who also blogs at Area 603, Granite Gumbo and detente, in addition to his real life job...

I'll let you figure out what that is :D

It looks like Rick has faced the problem many bloggers do. If you create a blog with a specific theme of posts, what do you do with the rest of your creative thoughts? Ah, make other blogs... Eventually one shakes out as the one where you'd like to spend more time.

I'm not sure if he had twenty blogs, that it would really give us insight into the mind of this very complex man.

The New Hampshire Bushman

The subtitle of The New Hampshire Bushman used to say : "Tea, GPS, and good times in Taiwan (and many other places!) with MJ and Hui-Chen." Now MJ and Hui-Chen are married and the good times continue.

[See MJ's comments below in the comments section].

The downside of this blog is that every single post is on the first page... so if you have low RAM or a dial-up connection, its going to take a while for this blog to load :(

The reason that M.J. set the viewing defaults this way are explained in his comment below.

Blogging since May 2005, M.J. Klein, who I assume is the New Hampshire native, resides in Hokou, Hsinchu, Taiwan.

The blog is deceptively interesting--a Yankee New Englander's insight into Eastern culture... like a frog sitting in a bird's nest :D

Swamp Yankee Wannabees...and a dog

Trying to live the good life in New Hampshire, these Swamp Yankee Wannabees, Aileen and Lionel (and dog Gump) created a blog in November 2004.

They express largely random ideas on Life, the Universe, and Everything, from politics, philosophy, and current topics, to antics of life on the farm.


Amazing discoveries can be made there (did you know Alaska is really warmer than New Hampshire)...

The Woolen Rabbit

In addition to being the blog's title, The Woolen Rabbit is a shop nestled in Conway, in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. This shop sells luxury fibers and yarn, along with natural soaps and handcremes.

They also breed Nordic Angora rabbits, and King Charles spaniels.

This blog is dedicated to Kim Kaslow, the blog owner's, love for animals and fiber.

Colorful photographs add to the unique feeling.
