August 31 is Blog Day!

I never know what to get people for these.

• The unparalleled Robin Good. If you're going to read just one blog on the future of technology and communications, this is the one. If you're going to read several, well, you might just start here and never leave.
• It's not only development people who'll love Wealth Bondage's literate, subversive, omnivorous take on the philanthropic world and beyond.
• The Progressive Review has been a luxuriant jungle of old-school reporting and frenetic information exchange since before blogs were blogs, and before the the Internet was the Internet. Feels like visiting Bugs Raplin's apartment. Bonus for D.C. readers: has forgotten more about District politics, local color and home rule than you'll ever know.
  
• "And, as Slavoj Zizek points out, Lenin is one of the last truly subversive signifiers."
• With the NFL season about to -- what's the tritest possible image here? -- kick off, fans of the savage ballet will want to turn on their pop-up blockers and dial up the league's bitchy, informative, and occasionally influential scandal sheet, the ProFootballTalk.com Rumor Mill.
