How long should you wait for an elevator?
The incentives for violence in hockey
The wisdom of crowds
Time travel back to 1000 A.D.: Survival tips
Singularity Special

Ballerinas and Information Asymmetry
Safety dog
Commodity meat
These are just some titles of recent posts on economics blogs.
The world of academic economists keeping blogs is one of the most vibrant parts of the internet. For whatever reason, reading these economists exercising their considerable intellects while discussing everyday topics in a non-academic mode is fascinating. Anybody who's looked through Freakonomics knows that the way economists think can be a great way to dig into non-economics topics.
Here are my favorites:
Marginal Revolution
Free Exchange
Growthology
Freakonomics
Assymetrical Information
Edward Glaeser's Academic Papers (thanks Matt P.)
