Ron Schott and I agree that there are a lot of great geobloggers out there who are worth your attention.
Ron, however, has made a list.
Check it out. You're unlikely to find that every writer on that list is to your taste, but you're quite likely to discover someone just right for you, who you didn't yet know existed.

Washing into the sea
Madagascar is falling apart geologically and biologically.
Today, Soichi Noguchi posted a gorgeous picture of the mouth of a river in Madagascar, pouring mud into the sea with a design like an abstract painting:
Sadly, that mud is flowing off the hillsides with every rainstorm, every one of Madagascar's not-infrequent cyclone hits, and blows off with the wind. Deforestation began in Madagascar with the first European colonization, and the demand for exotic wood (or any wood, eventually), and continued as slopes were cleared for agriculture. Between the general population of Madagascar, with people simply trying to get enough to eat, and shelter, and work, and the corporations driving the agriculture, it will be amazing if Madagascar can keep from dying, biologically, before any sort of control or balance is found.

Pi Day at the Exploratorium, San Francisco
I love dorks
I'm trying to find a way to connect this to geography, and struggling beyond circular lines of latitude slicing up the earth. I welcome ideas - because I couldn't resist the post.
