In no particular order, these are the blogs that made me say "Ooo," "Whoah," "Hmmm," "Wow," and "Ah Ha!" in 2007:

Noah Brier - www.noahbrier.com
Noah is a communications strategist at Naked. He was one of the first people I met as I began my job search last spring. His blog is delightfully eclectic, yet always seems to be right in line with my own fascinations and interests. A great example of how, if you don't limit your curiosity, you don't limit your discoveries.

Tina Roth Eisenberg - swissmiss.typepad.com/weblog
Authored by a Brooklyn-based graphic designer, and one of the most well curated and prolific design blogs I've come across on the web. SwissMiss is one of the few blogs whose entries I'm careful to never skip. With a dash of humor, I never know what I'm going to discover – whether it's a great new photographer, a tattoo mustache, or even a portable bbq – but I always go away feeling inspired.

Sean Howard - www.craphammer.ca
Sean works for a Toronto based branding firm. He's turned out to be a source of inspiration, and a great sounding board for my exploration of new media communications. Sean is one of the few bloggers I've found who is tackling some of the most conceptually expansive questions about social networking, marketing, and how we talk to each other in an increasingly digital world.

Scott Schuman - thesartorialist.blogspot.com
Although I was probably at the peek of my sartorial prowess in third grade, in my smart gray wool short suit and bow-tie, my affinity for great fashion has never wained. Scott's fashion photo blog is a stunning, and relentlessly inspirational collection of fantastic and original men's and women's clothing creations.

Tom Stafford and Matt Webb - www.mindhacks.com
I can't remember how I ended up stumbling across Mind Hacks, but it's turned out to be a terrific little thought-nugget of a blog. Covering interesting discoveries in neuroscience and psychology, it's introduced me to some incredibly eye-opening ideas about human behavior, and how much we still have to learn about the human brain.

Haalo - cookalmostanything.blogspot.com
If you're looking for a reason to do more cooking, Cook (almost) Anything at Least Once, will whet your appetite with its beautiful photos and mouth-watering recipes.

Nadejda - pan-dan.blogspot.com
This Italy-based blog is a carefully focused stream of some of the most beautiful industrial design I've ever seen. Chairs, lights, coffee tables, beds, benches...like you've never seen before.
