Art & Design
Art writing occupies little of the blogosphere thanks to scarce funds for arts education, cutbacks in arts journalism, rising museum admission fees and prices that keep anyone who isn’t a hedge-fund manager from collecting. But we’re stumped about why more people aren’t blogging about design, given that we’re surrounded by it every minute of our lives. Chicagoans are making great contributions to online criticism, but for now we also rely on sources further afield.
Badatsports.com Home of Chicago’s favorite foul-mouthed art podcast, Bad at Sports features interviews with artists, curators and more.
Designobserver.com This is an unparalleled source of news and essays about design—mostly graphic design—by superstars such as Michael Bierut, Rick Poynor and Steven Heller.
Mediabistro.com/unbeige Chicagoan Steve Delahoyde and his L.A. coeditor Alissa Walker seem to know about don’t-miss design-related events before their organizers do.
Leebey.com The former Sun-Times architecture critic posts his own photos of and commentary about notable local buildings.

I actually didn't care for bookslut.com. I really wanted to like it, but if you take a closer look at the reviews of the science books, she keeps saying that she's not a scientist, blah, blah, blah. The way in which she reviews these books is "I'm not a scientist, but...", I wish that she would hire a science major (maybe not a Ph.D or something), but someone who can speak to both the educated biologist/physicist/chemist AND the everyman interested in scientific pop literature.
