So I just updated my blog for one of the first times in a long time with the end of a warehouse raid story, and I got to thinking about all the other blogs out there. It seems that the ones I used to follow pretty regularly have slowed down. rotheblog.com, tokensonly.com, noiselandarcade.net, have all had sparse updates. It seems only johnsarcade has been keeping up a pretty admirable level of posting these days. (of the blogs that I follow)

I'm certainly not bitching about these bloggers not posting as I am certainly guilty of neglecting my posting duties and know that other factors can definitely impede on hobbyist blogs (in my case, my second daughter being born and closing up my web design shop to be a govt. employee certainly impeded on the hobby)

That being said, what do you guys read on the internets these day? I have become a huge fan of pinballninja.com. He posts a new repair EVERY SINGLE DAY!! Whoa! Let's start a list...I need some new reading material

www.pinballninja.com
www.noiselandarcade.net (I think this one died...Jamie??)

I have had very little time lately to work on anything arcade related. My wife lost her job, and I've been working crazy hours for a long time to make
ends meet. Add to that the fact that I'm out of room and $$, it makes it tough to post frequently.
 
I guess the only blogs we're reading are the ones we're writing (or not writing, lol) for the most part...It's all cool. I'm adding all those blogs to my Links section now.

Hey Jamie. glad to know you're alive. I wasn't condemning you - Heaven knows I let the blog take a back seat for a while. Just missed your posts, you added a lot to the hobby. Hope things get better for you and your family!

I'll add to the list. I've been checking out http://www.arcaderepairtips.com/ along with listening to their podcast every now and then. They go over some pretty basic stuff, but also some cool nuggets of info along the way.
 
Hey, thanks. Glad you like the site. :)

I've been dealing with trying to get my damn car inspected for 10 days or so. Pain in the ass. Failed inspection 10 days ago. Had to replace a section of exhaust, and it looks like I'll be swapping out an O2 sensor today. Maybe I can post some pictures of my car after I take a sledgehammer to it. :eek:
 
Not sure if my blog really fits into the collectors arena much, but since we are plugging sites here, my blog http://arcadeheroes.com covers the latest news in the arcade world with some occasional posts on classic game stuff. Updates vary upon the news that's out there, usually I don't find anything to post about on the weekend but some days I get enough to do three or four posts a day. With IAAPA next week I'll be able to do quite a few posts on all of the new games that will be there, it's going to be exciting! :)
 
Mine is http://www.jeffsgames.com. I'm horribly behind on posts because it's been a busy fall. I plan to start updating a little more now that things have slowed down some.

I really enjoy all of your blogs. Keep up the good work!

Zork40...Love that Mappy!

Thanks for the plug. Tokensonly has been a little slow because of my schedule and I'm working on a re-org of the resources page to make it easier. I have soooo much funky content to post and soooo little time. Isn't that always the case?
 
I'll have to check these out!

Oh... it's a kinda blog.

www.aaarpinball.com

Sometimes I update it a couple times a week, sometimes a few months go by. I've recently added a Marble Madness section.
