Ok here are some more blogs that I think are worth checking out.
The first is a practice blog. I like these. I suppose I am some sort of zen voyeur. But this one is well written and insightful. Unfortunately there is no telling if this will last, so many of these are short lived. A lot like the discipline of regular practice for so many. It is not hat hard folks. This particular author has some green weights in his corner, so give him a read.
Then there is the angry Buddhist blog. Harry is a real bright guy who seems to have a real grasp on Gudo Nishijima’s philosophy.
Another, which may self destruct at any time, is an interesting concept blog by Mike H (formerly known as Mile Doe) A lot of interesting stuff here, definitely one to watch.
Mike is a skilled writer and has got brains in his head.
And last but not least is my Sister in laws Bead blog. She has a good first post, maybe you can all get together and convince her she needs to start selling Malas or something (and maybe give a percentage of the profits to free Burma?)
That’s it for now.
Be well and happy!

Jordan,
Thanks for the mention.
Yes, I grasp at philosophy like a drowning man clutches at straws thinking them a raft (he's a stupid drowning man... work with me here).
Sitting is certainly good though. I agree its not hard, once we train ourselves like the monkeys we are to just do it! If we can't do this much:
Bold Monkeys!!!
Are you practicing Rinzai this weather?
Regards to you and yours,
Harry.
Harry,
Your welcome!
Interesting analogy, maybe making straws into a raft?
Apes, not monkeys. The tail is a give away.
I am practicing Slow Zen. It appears ceaseless.
Health and happiness to you and yours.
Jordan
Ha!
A drowning man clutching at an ape thinking it a monkey.

Harry,
That is a heck of a vision.
HA!
Take care,
Jordan
