So, today is Blog Day. It’s basically a concentrated effort to introduce people to new blogs. In that spirit, here are 5 blogs of different topics that sit on my daily reading list.

1. Lifehacker – Yeah, I know everyone seems to link to this blog, but it’s definitely one of my favorites. Great advice on how to be more productive. Multiple posts a day and one I always make time for.

2. Web Strategy by Jeremiah – An awesome new media marketing and PR blog that looks into how companies can best utilize these tools in their business. Even if you aren’t into business and are simply a podcaster, he gives some great strategy advice about how to utilize the tools that are out there.

3. Cooking for Engineers – While certainly not updated as much as I would like, Cooking for Engineers is an awesome cooking blog. As the title describes, it’s “step by step recipes…” and advice “… for the analytically minded.” I’ve been subscribed to this one for years, and it’s still interesting (when it gets updated).

4. Christopher S. Penn – I’ve mentioned Chris before, but he always has unique insight on a variety of topics. Chris is definitely a visionary in the world of new media and marketing, and I’m happy to consider him a colleague.

5. Tony’s Kansas City – While I have problems with a lot of Tony’s opinions, Tony DOES have a unique perspective about Kansas City. He often highlights issues in Kansas City that takes the local traditional media outlets weeks to discover or cover. Weed through some of the rhetoric, and you really have a gem of a local blog.
