Blogroll 91

Personal sites, mostly. The good stuff on the web is still someone posting on their own domain.

Read in Feedly. A further 37 feeds sit in an archive folder I no longer read, so they are not listed.

Latest videos come from each channel's uploads playlist, played in YouTube's embedded player. Subscriber counts and playtimes are a snapshot.
