I don't really "get" the blog thing. I don't know how these people can write all the time. Especially the new "professional bloggers" who actually do this for a living. But, they do it and do it well, so here's some of the ones I subscribe to.
Seth Godin (self-titled "Marketing Guru") blogs numerous times a day. He evens blogs about how to blog. Steve Olson writes in an interesting and informative bitesize self-help style, promoting realistic thinking and the power of hindsight. His many posts detailing life lessons learned from recalling past memories at times reek of those "unlock your inner (insert goal here)", but are generally insightful and at the very least, entertaining to read.
For the tech (and not so tech) heads theres blogs like Chris Pirillo's frequently updated text/video journal on the little hacks that are helpful everyday, from "How To Buy an mp4 player", "How To Save Money" to "How to Choose the Best Airline" and what to eat for the munchies. His video journal is based in his chatroom-slash-command centre, with open input from his many other subscribers.
Finally, there's Karl Hungus' film blog. I enjoy his humour and his honest reviews of current and classic films. His rather encyclopædic knowledge has opened my eyes to a few diamonds.
For the quick humour fix, theres always the webcomics:
xkcd
Dilbert
