It all depends on my workload, but I read quite a few blogs. Most of them are technical, since I’m often looking for information. Recently, I find myself reading more non-tech blogs because they are linked to the tech blogs. Either geeks are becoming softer, or more people are becoming geeks. I’m not sure.
One such person is Penelope Trunk. Ms.Trunk’s blog was listed in Inc.’s 19 Blogs You Should Read. Ms. Trunk is plenty geeky, with other issues too, but she is not a technologist. She’s somewhat hard to describe. She calls herself a career advisor and her writing is much more than advice. I’d say she is a life coach that writes short stories that meander to a specific point. Most bloggers aren’t good writers. They just get the job done in an acceptable manner. Penelope is a good writer. It’s a pleasure getting useful information while being entertained.
Here’s a video of Penelope giving a presentation a few years ago. I found it interesting to watch her compared to reading her.
