My bookmarks folder is getting a little bland.

Can anyone point me towards some good sites and blogs?

Any subjects will do since I am interested in most things. Just looking for stuff that's out there that you think is really good.

Cheers!

I find low-tech magazine to be very interesting, albeit on the nerdy side. The author compares old and obsolete tech with modern tech and wonders if there really was much of an improvement.

His critiques of new technologies, especially 'eco-friendly' tech, are wonderfully scathing and insightful: http://www.lowtechmagazine.com/ecotech-myths.html

2 of the 3 sites are new to me. I look forward to checking them out. Thanks for the recommendations. It will take me a couple of weeks before I decide whether or not to keep them in my Bookmarks folder.

As for The Lasy Psychologist. I am already a reader. Although I find him hard to follow sometimes. I think he can be too obtuse for his own good. My favourite writers put an emphasis on clarity.

Would love to hear any more suggestions.

I suggest Ozconservative.com. Also, check out stuartschneiderman.blogspot.com - his blog "Had Enough Therapy?" can be interesting.
