Day 57 of visiting 100 blogs in 100 days


Day 57 of visiting 100 blogs in 100 days -

The Cult of Mac Blog is my pick for the day - this blog by Wired News editor Leander Kahney covers the gamut from Macs to iPods to the business of Apple and everything in between. Even if you're a Windows guy, you'll appreciate the "buzz" and passion that Apple products generate amongst the community. Like a cult.

In fact, the blog has been compiled into the bestselling The Cult of Mac along with a new book The Cult of iPod, "a comprehensive look at how Apple's hit iPod is changing music, culture, and listening behavior. The Cult of iPod includes the exclusive back story of the iPod's development; looks at the many ways iPod's users pay homage to their devices; and investigates the quirkier aspects of iPod culture, such as iPod-jacking (strangers plugging into each other's iPods to discover new music) as well as the growing legions of MP3Js (regular folks who use their iPods to become DJs). 4-color throughout."

The blog is inspiring in itself, because the community of Apple is a creative bunch. I'm not aware of any XP blogs or Windows fanatics... Hey, one day I'll get around to building a iPod jukebox scaled to fit a old Windows PC, something Apple using LEGOs and certainly a iWipe (see post below) - all ideas featured from this blog.
