David Pogue, personal-tech columnist for The New York Times, has been writing a Thursday column since 2000. He covers all areas including cell-phones, televisions, game consoles and tablets. I read this blog regularly because I have a passion for technology and its adoption across the world. I like to keep updated about new hardware and software that is released that involves products I am interested in using. I believe that technology is the future, so being able to follow its progression and innovation is a joy.

Mark Bittman writes (mostly) about food for the Times Opinion pages, and is The Magazine’s lead food columnist. He is the author of “Food Matters,” which explores the crucial connections among food, health and the environment, and “How To Cook Everything.” He covers the positive and negative sides of what we eat and how we eat. I read this blog because it always informed me about the hazards or benefits concerning a certain food. I feel comfort when I know what exactly is going into my mouth, so this blog showed me the "do's and don'ts" about food and food consumption.

Favorite Fashion Blogs
http://thebeautydepartment.com/
The Beauty Department is run by Lauren Conrad and a couple of her stylish friends. They post step-by-step visuals of nail art, hair styles, and make-up tips, along with product recommendations and innovative, yet incredibly simple ways of using everyday materials and transforming them into something different. One of my favorite posts involves how you can create a sunburn reliever using teabags.
http://www.collegefashion.net/
College Fashion is another fashion website that involves a multitude of college girls that contribute to weekly postings. Every week, they have a "Hautelinks" where they scour the web for interesting links and stories relating to fashion, beauty, life and other miscellaneous topics. They also have fashion inspired by movies, television shows and historical figures as well. All of their items are very affordable and are put into collages so that the outfits are organized well. This is a great site for very basic and simple ways of incorporating new trends and styles into a collegiate wardrobe. Most outfits are also relevant to a high schoolers' life, and I really enjoy reading this blog.

1. Mark Bittman writes a food-related blog for the New York Times Opinion Pages, exploring the connections among food, health, and the environment. He is also the Times Magazine’s leading food columnist and the author of two books, “Food Matters” and “How to Cook Everything.” I keep up with his work as I enjoy learning about new developments occurring within the food industry and how they directly affect the well being of our health and our environment.
2. David Welch Pogue is a technology columnist for the New York Times and has his own blog, “Pogue’s Posts”. He is also an Emmy-winning tech correspondent for CBS News Sunday Morning, and a columnist for Scientific American.

Bloggers Germain Lussier and Aaron Blake
Germain Lussier (http://www.slashfilm.com)
Germaine Lussier is a film critic and movie news blogger for Slash Film, an online film blog that covers everything movies. It contains the latest movie news and reviews along with personal columns and opionated or artistic articles that cover anything in the film universe. His style is very distinct in his reviews, blending verbose descriptions of film techniques while throwing in cheeky one-liners and easy-going conversational points that include the reader. Everyone likes to "talk movies", so he blends an obvious advanced opinion with everyday "popcorn chat". When it comes to his coverage of movie news, it is pure personal rambling, shown how he expresses his torn feelings about J.J. Abrams directing the Star Wars Episode VII. Lussier writes out of Los Angeles, California, the heart of the film industry. He graduated New York University's Tisch School of the Arts Cinema Studies program in 2002. After many years of moving around among blogs and online podcasts, he is now a head writer at SlashFilm, which is linked to The New York Times, The Wallstreet Journal, The Guardian and has been featured on many lists for top movie blogging websites. Their slogan? "Blogging the reel world."
Aaron Blake (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/blogs-columns)
Aaron Blake is a politcal blogger and writer for the blogging section in The Washington Post. He covers national politics and writes regularly for Fix, the Post's top political blog. He is a Minnesota native and graduate of the University of Minnesota. Blake has also written about politics for the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and The Hill. His style is very direct and hard-hitting, and even though his writing can be very biased, he is never short on facts. He is a straightforward writer who doesn't talk around his points and instead of focusing on word choice for emphasis, he will just punch out a word in italics or use an intenional crossout. He covers everything from Romney's future and Obama's inaugural event to GOP electoral vote gambits and opinions on the debt ceiling.

1. Fran Blinebury writes for the Hangtime Blog, a basketball blog, on www.nba.com. Blinebury blogs about anything from the NBA world, from general news to players' locker room altercations. Blinebury covers the struggles of teams, the successes of teams, and all that goes in between. Lately, Blinebury has written about the hardships of the Lakers' coaching staff. All of Blinebury's entries are written with a surprisingly charismatic and lightly humorous tone, which has made him the most popular blogger on nba.com.
2. Steven Greenhouse is a business and economics blogger for the New York Times. Greenhouse has a very formal voice, and like his genre, it's all business. Greenhouse's blog mainly covers current events in the world of economy, specifically labor and workplace issues. Greenhouse recently wrote about the Labor Board Court Rejects. His blog is very informational, and although it reads like a textbook, it is worth the accurate news.
