My (finely crafted) information environment

Welcome back!
Feel free to suggest topics for me to write about using the Suggestions? tab to the right or use Formspring to ask me random stuff. Check Doug's FAQ first!

Raft

There’s sea of information and knowledge out there. I do the best I can, strapping together several planks by way of information channels into a raft to stay afloat. I thought I’d share those here – both online and offline sources – and I’m definitely open to suggestions and comments!


Books

  • Sunday Times Culture section

Fun Stuff

Latest Technology

Mac Stuff

Music

News/Current Affairs

Productivity tips

If I had to choose one of these it would be popurls.com. It’s just an aggregator of the RSS feeds from the most popular URLs on the Internet, but what a site! There’s always something linked to there that’s worth reading! I don’t read much in the way of printed matter any more. Gone are the days when I’d subscribe to 6 or 7 magazines. In fact, I was thinking the other day that many of the books on my bookshelves are just gathering dust: my first port of call when I need to know something is the Internet. It’s quicker, more fun, and I can cross-reference a lot more easily (especially with tools like Diigo, which I’ve only just started using…)

There are other blogs, etc. which I look at semi-regularly, of course, but the above constitute those sources I really wouldn’t be without! Has anyone any suggestions of must-visit websites that I’ve missed?

I just looked at popurls. I think there should be a warning before you open the site. It just blew me away!

[...] was my plan before I came across popurls thanks to Dave’s blog Musings of a Wannabe Genius. I clicked on popurls and was totally overwhelmed. I will never be on top of things in World 2.0. [...]
