This one looks new. Eye on Humboldt is keeping inventory on the Humboldt blogosphere, the blogger’s name is “Tazman.”
Also just found Forest Defender, which is also new and apparently active. As the title suggests, it’s about anti-logging direct action, with photos.
Came across Big Box Blog which appears to be dedicated to opposition to the proposed Balloon Track development, but it doesn’t look active. I’ll keep an eye on it.
There’s a colorful blog out of Arcata entitled Bohemian Mermaid Palace, which is named after the blogger’s clothing store. The current post is about her “day job” adventures selling buttons and non-pornographic 911 videos. Looks like she’s having fun (with the blog, not necessarily her day job).
Here’s a blog about local culinary adventures entitled Tastes of Humboldt, but it appears to be abandoned.
This one looks like it never got off the ground. It’s a blog for the Non-Prophets, a local rock band. Did the band itself get off the ground?
Not a local blog, but I found this entry by someone who recently visited Southern Humboldt and shared some impressions, however cliche they may be. And here are some travel entries from a couple, one of whom was raised in SoHum.
Update: No kidding! Paul does have a blog.
Some others as well from Axis of Drivel. We do not consent. Mark Konkler (but Mark, you’re not keeping it fresh!). Arcata Whacko. Arcata Radical.
And there is Mattole Wildlands Defense.
Soem of these look abandoned. I’ll check back and put some of them in my link list.

I’m thinking of dedicating a blog to Heraldo’s hatred of cops so that other like-minded people can find a friendly forum to voice their concerns. Can I count on your participation Erik?

My new biggest fan! Aw, shucks.
Eric, the big box blog is run by the T-S. It used to have a few posts but now there’s nothing on it.

Don’t forget the Bobby Harris blog at:

There are a few others I came across. When I have some time, I’ll make a list.

Big Box Blog was (is?) part of the Times Standard’s blogs.

I’ll have to add that Eye On Humboldt blog to my list, but first need to watch it and make sure it stays active.

Sarchasm from Heraldo the cop hater? A pathetic and all too predictable response.

Axis of Drivel has some new blogs listed too, looks like even that unreconstructed hippie Paul Encimer has one now.

You never heard of the Non-Prophets? They were, and may still be, around for a good while. I’d like to say, Why, they just played at Beginnings a week ago, but a lot of things feel like they happened only last week. Played many a local fund raiser and even a few gigs at the Mateel I do believe. There must be others who can tell you who actually were/are in the band. Since “Old School” vs “New School” seems to be the current vernacular to express differences in style,( did you catch Ernie Branscomb’s epistle in the RT today?), they were definately OS.OS being the better way, of course.
PB and EB, what an interesting team.

anon 4:35 – If a band’s happened since 2002, I probably haven’t heard about it. I figure when my youngest turns 4 we’ll start to have lives again. Although I probably did hear their name if they were playing at Beginnings, it probably didn’t register.

RAdical Arcata is Jesse Goplen’s blog. course he hasn’t updated it since july. He’s probably too busy with his tacky humboldt honey (porn) calendar.

Maybe he got sent back to that asylum. He has been locked in one you know back in Wisconsin.

First you have hallucinations about the ghost of Barbara Truitt roaming the halls of the MCC and now this Non-Prophets mind bloc…

Hey, thanks for the plug! Woohoo! Nice blog you have here. I really need to get out into local blogland more often.
Yeah, Fred, you might have to leave a snippy comment to The Inactive, no? hahahaha. yikes.
You know, just an opinion here but um… if you have something worthwhile to say, why not get an IDENTITY???? Anonymous (wherever you go) is so… annoyingly ‘safe’ and usually completely obnoxious and/or useless. You CAN make up a name even if you don’t choose to be officially signed up or whatnot.
I’m just saying…

Thanx Mermaid!
There are some legit reasons for remaining anonymous, but I do think it’s a bit cowardly to make personal attacks anonymously.
