Your Favorite Daily Websites

[Andonagio]

Just a broad question: what websites do you visit for your daily news and media diet, and why?

Thanks.

 

[RoJoHen]

I pretty much get all my news here. It's one reason I'm fairly out of touch with the outside world.

For all your cakey news : http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

I generally look at SMH and FoxSports, plus here too.

 

[cultcross]

BBC for news, usually, and I get the Guardian newspaper in print (dinosaur!) too.

 

[Mr. B]

I use Google Homepage to scan a bunch of RSS feeds (listed below). I don't really make a habit of visiting a bunch of news sites daily, although I do check Drudge often because it doesn't have a proper RSS feed. I generally check facebook, TrekBBS, Head-Fi, [H]ard|Forum, e-mail and eBay a couple times a day. The list should adequately reflect my interests.

Pretty much here, and Rushtour.com

Oh, and Holdfast got me addicted to The Superficial.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

For actual news, I stick to my local pages.

I also visit an assortment of Mac-oriented RSS sites for computer stuff. These include AppleInsider, MacWorld, Macintouch, Mac Observer, etc.

 

[SmoothieX]

I'm an admin at www.engineerboards.com. It's a prep site for people taking the Professional Engineer's licensing exam, and to post technical questions when you get stumped. I spend a lot of time there this time of year as the semi-annual exam day is tomorrow.

I get all my news from TNZ, my impression of society comes from Misc., and my understand of science comes from the SciTech forum here.

Suffice it to say, I am posting this from a concrete-and-steel reinforced bunker in an undisclosed location, having beans out of a can for dinner. The world outside seems a terrifying place.
