Sometimes I wonder what other people’s internet browsing habits are like. I definitely get stuck in a rut — in life and on the internet — so sometimes it’s good to step back, figure out where you are, and think about where you’d rather be.
My browsing is mostly centered around the Google RSS Reader. It’s a little alarming to think about how many blog posts per day I read, but… that’s modern life, I guess.
Political: Balloon Juice, Crooked Timber, Crooks and Liars, Bloggingheads.tv, Ezra Klein, HorsesAss, Matt Yglesias, Political Animal, Pollster.com, TPM, TAPPED, Belgravia Dispatch, Sightline.org’s The Daily Score.
Fun: BoingBoing, Indexed, Judge A Book By Its Cover, Penny-Arcade, Well Alright Well OK Exactly, xkcd.com, Junk Charts
Local: Broadway Seattle, Hillku, Capitol Hill Seattle, HorsesAss, Slog
Friends: Noise-to-Signal
WoW: Wowinsider.com, Twilight Folk guild page
So, although I’m currently subscribed to 30 blogs or so, the one thing that jumps out at me is how under-represented some areas of my life are. I need to sign up for science and cooking blogs, for one thing. And, believe it or not, I’m going to add more Warcraft bloggers, especially a few good holy/disc priest blogs. Who gets bumped? Crooks and Liars, I think. I just don’t watch their videos that much, and they always seem to be preaching to the converted in a way that annoys me. I canceled my Andrew Sullivan subscription a month or two ago, and haven’t looked back.
Other places I “go” outside the reader are Doonesbury.com and Woot.com (for the T-shirt of the day), because they don’t have RSS feeds.
