Blogs by LWers
Related to: Wikifying the Blog List
LessWrong posters and readers are generally pretty cool people. Maybe they are interesting bloggers too. And I'm not just talking about rationalist material, that we'd ideally like to be cross posted on LessWrong, no gardening blogs are also fair game. I'm making this a discussion level post so more people can see the list. Please share links to blogs by former or current LWers. Surely the authors wouldn't mind, who wouldn't like more readers? Original list here.
Anyone who wants to suggest a new blog for the list please follow this link.

Note: Anyone just digging for interesting blogs they would like to read but dosen't care if they are written by LWers or not should check out this thread or maybe this one. Did you guys know we have a wiki article with external resources? We do. Check that out as well. Maybe once we figure out which LWer blogs related to rationality on this list are particularly good we can add a few of them there too.

My blog is at http://www.mstevens.org/ but it is rarely updated and not terribly interesting.
Probably more relevant to LWers is my mostly about cryonics blog!
Of the ones that I have read so far, I particularly recommend muflax for his entirely-logical craziness (Ontological Therapy was awesome), and Yvain for all kinds of interesting, funny, and/or generally awesome posts (exhibits: interesting, interesting, funny, funny, generally awesome - and there are many more that I could have included but didn't).
Mind if I just put up a link to your website?
Probably best :-) http://davidgerard.co.uk
Input Junkie-- I alternate between political outrage and cool stuff found online.
You are at or near the top of my list of sources of neat internet stuff. (The political outrage is nice too.)
Here is my blog. It is pitched a lower level of discourse than Less Wrong, but some of you might get some value out of it (especially my upcoming posts).
I meant to say - this is a great and long overdue post, thank you for making it!
Too obvious to mention?
Well, that and he isn't particularly a lesswronger.
His kind has recent common ancestors with LessWrong Man, who himself evolved from Archaic Overcoming Bias Man not so long ago. This is why I think it probably is acceptable to include him.
Because of the site fork, there are lots and lots of comments written by him on LessWrong on the sequences, some of them quite influential, that and we do cite OB as a sister site.
Edit: Thinking about it some more I've decided to add several hominids who mostly hang out on OB too.
Yes. But I may as well add it anyway.
It's now a group blog (again) with Katja Grace and Robert Wiblin.
Most of the content in the archives is Robin Hanson though. So for now I'm keeping it on the list.
I wasn't saying it shouldn't be on the list. And Katja Grace is a lesswronger. (Though Meteuphoric, linked above, is done.)
gwern is at http://www.gwern.net/ Very good content!
Once in a blue moon I update my parenting blog.
Thanks, this is a great motivation to finish my website this weekend.
It will be here: bur.sk
Is noseriouslywhatabouttehmenz/ by a LWer?
My naive introspection says yes. I seem to remember someone being excited he was a LWer.
I was excited that ze was using LW as a resource to talk about something else
ETA: Zir third Social Justice 101 post in particular
Ozy is _ozymandias on LW. Here's zir comment in a "Welcome to Less Wrong" thread.
Added.
My tumblr of LWish topics:
http://coarsegrained.tumblr.com/
Will probably hold my own writing too when I have the free time to do it again.
I'm more of a lurker than a LWer, but in case you're interested: my blog, mainly about programming because I'm mainly about programming.
OK, here's mine. It's not especially on-topic for Less Wrong, and I often go for long periods without posting anything.
Various music topics here. Nothing LW-relevant, but I've got ideas for a few posts coming up that are informed by my reading here.
I'm fairly proud of my blog at http://www.greatplay.net
Note: I have now moved to Everyday Utilitarian.
Downvoted. No need to apologize. Ask for feedback on how to improve, instead.
Aretae - http://aretae.blogspot.com/
I'm reserving judgment on my own participation (as a matter of cultural integration, as I haven't been here long enough to ascertain the culture or my compatibility thereto), so I'll refrain from listing my own blog.
The content is gaming and not LW-related, but I'll put up my blog anyway: Ynglinga Saga
Me too! Little content, but my best posts still aren't outdated.
I don't know if this is what is intended, but I am the voice behind the Georgia Special Education Law Blog But there's practically no overlap between what I post there and what I write about on LessWrong.
Like I said gardening blogs, that is blogs that have nothing to do with LWish topics are perfectly cool too. This is in part a community building exercise.
I'll plug in my own blog: BentSpoonGames Blog
It's about game design and development.
http://theviewfromhell.blogspot.com/
Sister Y's blog. She's not an LW poster but speaks the language. I saw her commenting on OB and around the contrarian blogosphere, with a meta-contrarian attitude. Mostly talks about ethics, specifically the ethics of anti-natalism and sucide. But has cool posts on cultural processes and general meta-ethics too.
Don't miss out on great material, you can even link to it for free karma as it already meets or exceeds LW Discussion standards.
(ah, damn, I missed that it's already on Konkvistador's list...)
CarlShulman --- Reflective Disequilibrium
Thank you for posting this in a easy to copy format! It makes updating the list faster for me.
my blog juliawise on giving juliawise in general.
The blog on giving was already on the list.
Post new suggestions of LWer blogs as replies to this comment, since I might miss them otherwise!
Before suggesting a blog, please Ctrl + F search if the nick and blog are already on the list. Format the link to the blog like John Maxwell and erratio did. Thank you!
Generic example:
Are you asking for people to reply to this comment? ("This post" could be (mis)interpreted as referring to the whole page... at least, that's what I did.)
Yes I was. Thank you for pointing out the ambiguity, it is very obvious in hindsight.
alexvermeer --- alexvermeer.com
Chris Hallquist --- The Uncredible Hallq
Eneasz - Death Is Bad
Updated the link.
Trevor Blake - OVO
Trevor Blake, editor - Dora Marsden
Trevor Blake, lead judge - George Walford International Essay Prize
Mind formatting the links? It is not that it would be too much for me to find them and write, I just want to preserve the norm of everyone formatting the responses to save me a trivial inconvenience that adds up over time.
When something sticks to the format I just use a macro and I'm done.
Pablo_Stafforini -- Pablo's miscellany
*lalaithion --- Too many thoughts, too little time
I have to say I wasn't expecting this many LWers to be bloggers. Cool.
erratio --- The merry-go-round of life
Not updated very often and I don't put a great deal of effort into the writing. Most of what I do post is notes from cogsci books I'm reading.
(I think
LessWrongUsershould be "erratio", or whatever name you wish to be listed under.)Oops! Corrected, thanks
Updated. Thank you for sticking to the format!
gjm --- Scribble, scribble, scribble which is getting about one post a year at present. It's been more active in the past (though never very active) and may be more active in the future. No particular theme other than "stuff that happens to interest or amuse me from time to time".
Giles -- Prince Mm Mm
Mostly just minutes of Toronto LW meetings and suggestions for things to talk about.
James_G's blog seems to have vanished from the Internet, which is too bad as I'm looking for an article from it. Does anyone know of a backup anywhere or know a way to contact JamesG himself?
Two things:
1.) I have now moved from Greatplay.net to Everyday Utilitarian. 2.) My name is peter hurford, not "peter hurtford". There is no "t" in my last name.
Can these two changes be made?
Note that as of 10 May 2013 this list has been copied to a page on the LW wiki, which means it can be more easily kept up to date. Announcement.
