Manchester blog of the week is back!

Now that the superb Manchester Blog awards are over and all those deserving winners are back to their PCs we’re back with our weekly look at what’s top in the city.
This week’s pick of the posts is the excellent 14sandwiches.
From the keyboard of the award-winning Manchester Bus blogger Martin Bryant, this mix of geekery, gadgetry and musings is a slick production indeed.
Self-described as “a technology-media-music party for your brain” this blog details everything from the latest social networking site launches to the hot stuff in phone gadgetry.
In recent postings for example, Martin has been taking a look at the new network for dads, odadeo.com , and detailing the thinking behind always carrying two phones ( a geeky habit I fully endorse!).
The page design is clean and well executed, Martin’s writing style makes even techie jargon approachable (Check out his post on Dongles for proof) and there’s a good mix of video and audio to boot.
But what’s all this got to do with our favourite lunchtime meal? Too much time munching a mountain of sarnies in front of the keyboard perhaps?
Martin explains: “It was the name of a music review site I wrote when I was a student. I can’t remember why I named it that, although people assumed I was fat due to eating 14 sandwiches. I’m neither fat nor have I eaten 14 sandwiches in one sitting. It just seemed like a good name to resurrect!”
So there you have it – strange name maybe but a cool must-have Manchester bookmark all the same.
Myself and Paul will be hunting around for blogs or websites to feature here, add to our blogroll and include in the e-view page of the M.E.N on Saturday so, if you’ve got one to nominate, contact me here or submit a link below. The only criteria is that they have some connection with Manchester.
