Loved, loved, loved Maximum PC's article "53 Amazing Websites You've Never Heard Of" (Maximum PC, March 2010, p. 26). I kept thinking of random people who would appreciate the links. Here are a few of my favorites & a quick description from the article:
www.pdfgeni.com "Pdfgeni is a search engine dedicated to indexing PDF files scattered across the web."
www.strangemaps.wordpress.com"Strangemaps posts interesting maps several times a week, complete with related facts and statistics about the featured area in blog form"
www.wunderground.com"Weather Underground provides...local reporting by tapping into a network of 10,000 local weather stations in all major cities across the U.S."
www.drinkhacker.com"Learn how to drink in style"
www.thesixtyone.comMusic site with...an indie slant, songs on The SixtyOne are uploaded by artists themselves, and voted on by users..."
www.tvtropes.org"A comprehensive wiki of literary devices used in popular fiction, including tropes used in most television shows today."
www.knowyourmeme.com"Know your meme exists to give your friends and family all an equal chance to laugh at, or with, the Internet."

"Lets you see what all the critics are saying..."

- After blogging through a graduate degree, I spent some time underground...cooked some meals, found a job, hiked some great trails, read a few books, had a baby...but I find I must return to blogging for the simple reason that I spend my days interacting with such great information (and a lot of junk) it is criminal not to share it. Basically I catalog magazines and journals, and of course I flip through and scan articles that catch my eye... While this may sound wrist-slittingly boring, I've been here a year and my wrists are still unscarred. Is it a testament to my fortitude, the state of the economy/job opportunities in NE Ohio, or a reflection of how much I really do enjoy scanning articles, I don't know. But I created this blog to share the randomness that I am exposed to.
