Blogs you should be reading.

rssbuttonI will be the first to admit I read too many blogs. My RSS Reader is consistently over the 1000+ mark and I probably know too much about too many things I really have no business trying to understand. But then, there are a lot of smart people out there with good information to share.

I wanted to share some of my favorites with you, should you be looking for more blogs to fill your coffee breaks.
