Rather than blast ya'll in SILC with a list of sites I think are interesting enough that ya'll might enjoy them as well I'll archive them here. After all, we can't all be expected to look at every link that comes through, especially when I have so many to share.
How to Write a Better Weblog: A List Apart:
I have not read this yet, but in skimming the headings it appears that it might actually have some good thought behind it, good enough at least to skim it and mull it over (perhaps).
Dialog by Episode - Firefly-Serenity Chinese Pinyinary:
This little gem already came in handy for me. This purports to be a lexicon of all the non-English dialog in the Firefly series along with the translation! I cannot gauge it's veracity but when I read the dialog for a recently viewed episode it seemed to make good contextual sense.
9rules network » A content network that happens to have blogs in it:
This is supposed to be a site that aggregates other blogs considered to be examples of good writing. From what I gather it's an attempt to raise the literary quality of blogs. With that said there might actually be some good content linked in this network.
PS3Blog.net:
“PS3Blog.net: PS3 news and views. A little Xbox 360 and Revolution dabbling may occur.†I have not read through the posts, but it still could be interesting, for a while anyway.
The Traveling Guys:
I only link this because of the design. This is one pretty website. Considering we are all geeks and dabble in design I thought we might appreciate a little inspiration here and there.
Overcaffeinated:
This is another really pretty site, well laid out, and designed such that it is easy to read. The palette is different enough to make me take notice (Holly too).
ThinkGeek :: Pirate Mug:
In case you missed it this has got to be the best coffee mug around. My only question is, do coffee and rum go well together matey?
ThinkGeek :: Mind Molester:
It seems to me this could be easily constructed, and something I expect I'll read about in JD's blog, but still, I love the idea. Insert evil cackle here.
/* Position Is Everything */ Modern browser bugs explained in detail!:
This has some rather “bizzare†and advanced CSS happening, as well as documenting how it breaks on each browser and some workarounds. I'm going to keep my eye on this site (if I remember to).
That does it. Aren't you glad I didn't flood the SILC channel with all this stuff?

Overcaffinated is great.
As for the 9rules network, there are some decently designed blogs in the network, but it seems to be largely made up of self-important bloggers trying to make a few bucks with Google adwords.
