Note- this has been sitting in drafts for a few weeks (oops), I’ll have another update very soon…
New- blogs added
- DomainTools Blog- A great blog about domain names. I had to buy a number of domains this week (still have to figure some out) and I remembered just how interesting domaining is. It’s like real estate for internet people…
- Coworking Community Blog- I want to get into some of these coworking dates. This seemed like the right place to start.
- Laptoping- It’s a cool site about laptop news. I’ve been reading it on and off for a long time and finally decided to pull the trigger.
- Grub Street- NYMag’s food blog- it’s the best there is. Another one that I have been reading for some time and finally subscribed to.
- VIA sites- VIA (like the processor/motherboard guys) keeps opening up web properties to talk about their gear. They get good writers and post about some pretty cool stuff. Nothing insanely amazing, but definitely worth checking out. They don’t post a whole lot, so I keep subscribing. Some sites are Technovoyance, Green Lounge, VIA Galleries, Ultramobile Life, UMPC Portal and EPIAcenter. I’m not sure if VIA official owns then or what. Something I need to look into…
- JKKmobile- Another one that I have checked out from time to time.
Hot- sites that have been awesome lately
- Game Life- Wired’s gaming blog. It gets gaming news, filters out all the crap and gives you what you want. Perfect for someone who is intersted by does not have the time to read 40 posts a day from Kotaku, most of which are about cakes that look like game characters.
Not- sites that have been disappointing lately
- Get Rich Slowly- I really enjoyed this ans some other financial blogs for some time, but after a few months it’s just the same stuff over and over again. There are LOTS of links to book and tips on saving money, but in the end it’s the same stuff in a different form.
- Eater- It’s good, but Grub Street is way better.
Removed- unsubscribed
- Adobe Blogs- Cool in theory, but rarely anything too interesting, at least from my perspective. Maybe if I used Adobe products a primary tool for my job (even though I still use multiple ones everyday) it would be more interesting.
- /Message, Stowe Boyd- I just have not been reading it lately…
Trends-
So I’ve been doing some pretty serious reading lately, though I have I have been much more liberal with the “mark all as read” button, this is especially true with my business/financial reading.

EPIACENTER and UMPCportal.com are not related to VIA Technologies in any other way than those websites reporting (amongst other things) about VIA Technologies based products and platforms. Both sites are also independent outfits run by different people even though collaborative coverage happens from time to time, especially during major events such as CES, CeBIT and Computex.
