Sites we love

Lorcan Dempsey's Weblog - because if I can read a post, I feel really really smart. If I can understand a post, I promptly lie down and take a nap because I've done all my valuable thinking for the day.

O'Reilly's Tools of Change blog - I'm supposed to be a contributor there, but I am horrible at it. (Yes, Mac, I promise. Soon. Really soon. As soon as I learn XXE and all that other stuff.) However, those who actually do contribute - as well as Mac Slocum and Andrew Savikas, who run the site - are the best brains in the business.

Persona Non Data - Michael Cairns used to run Bowker and is now a consultant. His blog is really great - frequently updated, with observations on most of the book world news. He gets up earlier in the morning than I do.

Peter Brantley's blog - I frankly don't know how Peter does it. He runs this amazingly erudite listserv, heads the Digital Library Foundation, speaks and writes for other organizations, and posts these very thoughtful, well-considered pieces on digital distribution, rights management, libraries...It's incredible.

Smart Bitches, Trashy Books - Because when you finish your meal, you get dessert. Candy and Sarah review...primarily romances, but also some mysteries, SF, and anything else they feel like. What I really like about the site is that (a) Real Romance Authors like it and show up there and comment, so the site has foreals cred (b) Candy and Sarah are very tech-savvy and Sarah in particular has a Kindle and loves it.
