Nosuch.org
Warning warning! This is an adult blog! It is for those who hate those blogs written by 12-year old pubescent girls who can only talk about Nsync concerts and always write with lots of exclamation marks. It is written by an adult and deals with various topics in a calm adult manner. Which should just about piss off most blog readers.
The author of Nosuch.org is Alex, a New Yorker born and bred. He lives there with his German girlfriend, Conny. They came to some repute recently when Evhead published a letter Conny wrote to Ev on the Blogger front page. She wrote how they both met when Conny became a reader of Nosuch.org.
The blog chronicles Alex's adventures in New York from stories on errant cabbies to everyday city politics and how they affect him. It also chronicles Alex's other hobbies which include *ahem* sado-masochism. Yes, that's right. Sado-masochism. Whips, chains, that sort of thing. It isn't as graphic as you might think. You're not going to lose your lunch over it because Alex writes in a thoughtful and analytical manner.
If you'd like to get away from the usual kind of blogs, and want to read something substantial, this is probably the best place to go.

The blogs at nosuch.org vary in length between brief comments and veritable essays. Though this makes for a welcome change of pace in my opinion, some readers might be put off by some of the grander posts. Quite a few of these blogs would easily have supported their own section under the heading "writings". The decision to leave them in the master blog is a brave one that may go wrong if readers aren't prepared to put the time in.
If you do make the effort to work through the posts, there are some very good pieces scattered around.
The site is well organised (except for the front page being too long - the scrollbar almost disappears), with links set to one side and the content in a nice, large, web-friendly typeface. The masthead is a little plain and dull, and upsets the balance the rest of the page works so hard to achieve.
This site is pushing a 4.0 rating, but doesn't quite get there because of a few elements that don't fit (as mentioned). Despite that, if you have a little spare time, this site is certainly one that I would recommend.
