chop mommy’s ugly puffer fish

Here in the sticks, we sometimes stumble across blogs we have never read before.  In the hopes of fostering more and better connections with our local blogsophere, I’d like to share a few with you.

• The Tribune’s former sportswriter who got unceremoniously canned has found a new online gig.  You can read Scott Carter’s Chop Talk at the Nole Insider.
• Dr. Mommy is really Dr. of Chiropractor Daisy Sutherland, and mom to 5 children in South Tampa.  She has effectively begun her own network of sites that include Dr. Mommy Health Tips, Dr. Mommy Writes, Dr. Mommy Says, and the Dr Mommy Chronicles.
• Will Young grew up in Mango, and Unobjective Intelligence can be gleaned from the leader of the Will Young Band (Lakeland).  He provides “…social commentary on everyday issues, to commentary on local, national and world news.”
• I would tell you more about the Ugly Puffer Fish, but there is no “about” page.  The writer has some images that suggest he’s Tampan, and a link to South Tampa Drinking Liberally.

In addition to those, here is a sampling of some of the latest additions to the TampaBLAB blogs list:

• Carrollwood’s John Pugh writes the stinkin’ blog, which contains quick hits (usually a link and a one line description) that I cannot decipher.  Techno-heads might get some use out of it, though.  John’s description:  “gadgets and cool stuff, oh my.”
• David Davisson of Seminole Heights publishes Re/Creating Tampa, and says it’s about “all the stuff on the internet that catches my attention. I try to focus on Tampa, but my mind wanders.”  David’s other pages include Eating Tampa, Greening Tampa, Reading Tampa, and Screening Tampa.
• Jcyreus dot Com is written by Jason Cyr, who moved to Harbour Island from Wisconsin in 2008.  Blog content remains a bit scattered – there are reviews on local events & restaurants, blogging tips, stories about biking to work, and he weighed in on the Presidential race.
• Cory Foy is the self-named blog by Cory Foy.  He’s another one of those developer-types with a passion for the philosophy of “agile development.”

Happy reading!  and if you have a favorite local blog, let us know about it!
