Ah, number five. One of my favorite people blogs (vs. blogs about ideas or Mormon stuff). Joe in and Around Las Vegas, aka VegasJoe, writes a really cool blog that’s a stream of consciousness blend of text and photos of Vegas life as lived by real people, interspersed with links to fun YouTube videos, travel, and his beautiful granddaughter, E.
I found Joe when he found me. He either linked to my blog or found it at random and I saw he’d been there by his IP address. We swapped e-mails a couple of times (remember my unemployed days, Joe?) and found that we are/were both actually FoxPro developers - a very, very small niche. He liked my blog and some of my friends’ blogs and after almost five years we’re still together 
What I like best about Joe’s blog is that it’s always surprising. He works for a company that has a huge convention center right on site. He posts photos of setup and teardown and sometimes of the shows themselves. His blog gives me a sense of being “on the scene.” His video blogs are also, to hammer the adjective into the ground, surprising. I’m always entertained and amused and often delighted by what he chooses to link. And anybody who can look at the unruly mop of hair on his beautiful, cheeky little granddaughter E and not be entranced has no soul.
Joe’s blog and his generous link policies have made him friends all over the globe. If you go to Vegas, look him up! But warn him you’re coming - I was there last fall, and didn’t give him enough notice, so we’ve never yet met in real life.
