My morning starts with the following sites:
boingboing.net
From which we get a timelapse video of an airport.
cnn.com
From which I learn very little, but once in a while there’s something I follow up on.
digg.com
I find some of the best stuff I repost there
eurekalert.org
A brain expansion device. Almost all the technical ideas for my novel, including that George’s skin is made of a sandwich of carbene and two other materials which we don’t currently understand, except one of them seems to be a nested molecular spring assembly.
facebook.com
Hey, I just this week reconnected with the glorious Janet, who saved my ass, Paul’s ass, and the ass of the children MANY times when we were living in Montréal. It’s one thing facebook is very good for, and if I could talk my mother into joining she’d never get any ****ing family history done she would be so busy reconnecting with rellies.
fark.com
John came home one time from Value Village with a Fark tshirt for me. Long term fans of this blog will recollect I actually met Drew at a Vancouver Fark Party (Keith in tow). I love him, as an idea and as a person. ALSO, IT WAS THE ONE SPORTS BAR IN VANCOUVER I EVER WENT TO WHERE THE ASPECT RATIO WAS SET CORRECTLY ON **EVERY**SINGLE**TV** So really it was a lot like getting struck by lightning, while drinking with a crowd of new friends.
gawker.com
Cause I like gossip, yo.
io9.com
Where I get my sf media fix.
jezebel.com
The snarkiest and most hypocritical site on the net, viz feminism. Really feministing.com is better, but I keep getting lost in the comments thread.
lifehacker.com
Good info and hucksterism jostling for clickspace
livejournal.com
Most of the filkers I know are on it.
news1130.com
Local news which I grab and repost for local peeps on facebook
popurls.com
ERMA GERD. So much links, so much clickyness
rawstory.com
I’ve been following them since they were a little breathless puppy of a newssite
reddit.com
Nicer than 4chan, worse than cleaning out a pedophile’s garage. A black hole for time, energy and the will to live.
slashdot.org
Most of the time I don’t understand the links, but it’s educational when I do
thedailybeast.com
Self-indulgent and unclear as to its audience, but I find original reporting in there which makes it worth it.
twitter.com
How terse can I be? It’s a puzzle
and I often make sidetrips to
freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/
Very happy to see PZ Myers has unequivocally opposed Richard Dawkins on his fiat statement on the abortability of genetically non-normative fetuses. To posit that the correct moral stance is to abort the fetus is yet another vomit stain on Dawkins’ fratbro drunkard’s walk through the pubcrawl of contemporary ethics.
icanhazcheeseburger.com OH LOOK DOGE
visualnews.com PRETTY PICKCHURS
imdb.com
thecryptosphere.com/ – a site started by Lorraine Murphy, a local journo and online buddy.
