Your Blogroll?

[mattclinch]

Hey all - i thought it might be a nice way of finding hidden gems of sites if we shared our top 5 blogs - that is to say, your most popular/regularly visited inspirational digests. It doesn't have to be strictly architecturally related, perhaps just a good source of visual inspiration? or the way you stay in touch with the constantly shifting design zeitgeist?

 

I'll kick us off, roughly in order of most regularly visited...

Great idea, Matt!

 

Here's my five... well, sort of...

 

Anything and everything from Annie Liebovitz and Umberto Eco .

 

I know it's not five web-links but they both have such beautiful narrative that individually and as a whole, manage to encompass all semiotic notions so that I've never had to venture any further.

 

Call it "stuck in a rut", but I'm happy! Google will help if you're not sure of what I'm referring to.
