Beauty of the Internet
I love the internet for how close it can bring you to the daily lives and character of people you never thought you'd come in contact with. Sure, you can read books people have written, look at their paintings, or watch their films, but that's different than hearing what they were thinking about THIS MORNING or what problems they had writing that book.
Here are a couple of fun examples:
Today I found the blog of the creator of the Dinotopia book series: http://gurneyjourney.blogspot.com/
What a cool guy. Highlights include new lettering techniques for his book to be released this month, the crazy things he asks his family to do to help him with his illustrations, the contraption he created to burn paintings he doesn't like, and his weakness for funky roadside dinosaur attractions.
Also, Stephen Fry's new blog. He's long-winded and hilarious as always:
