  • So What Web Sites Do You Read?
    posted on Jul 18 2006

    As most of you know, I’m a news junky. Not-so-much as I was in my Juicee News hayday… but still quite obsessed. I’ve also recently jumped head-first into the world of fashion as my position at DaVille required me to be “up to snuff.”

    I check frequently…

      The Drudge Report for breaking news and political gossip. I read Deadspin for sports news/gossip and highlights from the previous day. I read Gawker for media/nyc/celebrity issues.

    I check sparaticly…

      Digg for links to tech news and interesting links. Bloglines for who’s posted what on their blogs – this includes all my friends who have blogs as it serves as a one-stop-cure for my blogging ills. TV Squad for updates from the world of television.

    I check at the end of the day…

      Lifehacker for tips/tricks/life stuff. Gadling and Gridskipper for travel articles. PSFK for media and advertising info. Valleywag for web news/gossip. I also read Cool Hunting, Josh Spears, and Uncrate for all things worthy of cunsuming.

  • New Blog Additions
    posted on Jan 22 2006

    WHS alum Ben McLain and The Office’s Dwight Schrute have both had their blogs added to my blogroll (found on the right-hand side of the page, mid-way down).

    If you have a blog I don’t know about, let me know.

    The only stipulation is that I kinda have to know you… or your blog has to be dang good.

    If you want to know what I read/like or a short-list of blogs I read/suggest.

  • Snyder signing off? – Last week, Drew Snyder posted a blog entry about quiting his higly popular site. However, that post has since been removed.
  • Dead as a doornail – It appears that a couple of blogs may have fallen along the wayside. When it comes to blogs, one thing is always true: Anyone can start one, but only a few choose to maintain them. [This is a challange to get back into the game.]
