Slightly off topic, but: I've never been a fan of big blogrolls and have hence kept mine pretty much limited to stuff I've been actively involved in, leaving the unwieldy blogrolls to The A-Listers. But there are some folks I spend nano-time with, some have even blogrolled me:

Locally Grumpy Forester, whom I years ago met through a blog in, of all places, NYC (I know, git a rope) joins The Source Weekly - technically not a blog but it'll do - Bend Blogs, a damned good local aggregator, and Bend Community Radio. Lining up with Jeffersonian Rogue Pundit, Oregonians Nothstine, your go-to for Saturday morning cartoons and a regular at Loaded Orygun, Interesting Times, Preemptive Karma and, showing signs of having learned that everything East of the Cascades is not Idaho, Blue Oregon.

Not much for the wider world, but of note: West-coaster Politics in Zeros is an honest investor (I know, oximoron) with a finger on the hottest clean-tech market technologies, Global Guerrillas offers insight into changes we face as the world grows ever smaller, and while I have no idea who or where J. Doolittle is, I like his Bad Attitudes. Wrapping things up: couple of sites to make you wonder about things... What Really Happened and the White Rose Society.

And while you're scrolling, do check out Cascadia, and Get Back On The Bus.
