megaleena left a comment a few days ago on a post where I talked about my obsessive-compulsive reading list, suggesting it would be interesting if I shared it. Easily enough done!

So, between email, work, and writing, this is what I read daily.

"News" feeds:
Serious Eats (just the top page)
Kempt
The Lulu Blog, though I'm thinking of taking this one down to Mondays-only reading
BoingBoing (again, top page only or until I get tired of scrolling)
Futility Closet (I ignore the math)
Myths Retold
Free Things To Do In Chicago

Fannish stuff:
My LJ and DW friendslists
Geek Crafts
wcnewsletter, the White Collar daily newsletter
Twitter (Sometimes.)
My non-fannish Facebook (the only way R communicates anymore, I swear to god)
Delicious -- I have a Delicious slush file that has basically four categories: Deal with this, Archive this, Books to read, Origami websites. I also have a Delicious subscription to some fannish tags, so I always check that.

And finally, THE EARTH.

I didn't realise I have no webcomics on my reading list anymore. I sort of fall in and out of love with webcomics, so whatever. (Please don't suggest any :D )

For bonus points, this is my Monday additional reading list.

Career stuff:
Nonprofity, "our" Claire's professional website
The 99%, a very mixed bag
Alltop Career News
Leave It At The Reception Desk
Publisher's Weekly
The Self Publishing Review

Hobbies:
Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation Blog
The Daily Coyote
Origamiancy and Origami Spirit
Urban Ghosts
The Incarcerated inkwell

Entertainment:
Racked Chicago
Siskel Film Centre
Upcoming Movies
TV By The Numbers

Man. Reading it all laid out like that, I do kind of look like a politically apathetic dilettante, don't I?

I also read Chicago Magazine and The New Yorker, and the Monday edition of the Chicago Sun-Times, though I don't know if those are exactly points in my favour.

So, you didn't really bother to read what I posted, then.

I just don't find latitude and longitude that fascinating?

Ah, re-reading, you put links at the bottom. Sorry I missed those; in the past week there have been multiple times when people have linked me to thinks I've linked in the same post, or quoted posts I've linked at me, so my eyes tend to glaze over a bit when it happens.

Yeah, I'm having fun using that link and trying to figure out what the rules really ARE with this plan, because it's not really using all the top row letters for Latitude (obviously, since they're all vowels) - what seems to be happening is a jump up and down, but it's not just up and down alternating, either.

And I'm thinking people are either just grabbing whatever lat/long sounds 'close...ish' to them or whatever letters they like. DISTRESSINGLY IMPRECISE. The method is cool, but the write-ups are not good.
