The Phoblographer

One of the more popular photography sites that I visit regularly.

This site does ‘real world’ reviews of cameras and lenses, but also has articles about subjects and techniques.

My post about this site is covered in the main blog here.

WA Today

One of four sites I go to regularly to see what is going on in and around Perth, and in Western Australia in general.

WA Today seems to get updated with reasonably frequency to keep up with breaking news.

WA Today was still free (i.e., no paywall) when I put this link posting in (15th Dec, 2019).

Addicted to Heels

NOTE ::
Sadly, this site no longer links. However, I may try setting something up in my main blog. Keep an eye out for that [29th Sept, 2021]

Slate Magazine

Slate Magazine is another news site that covers:

  • News and Politics

  • Culture

  • Technology

  • Business

  • Human Interest

For those that like podcasts, Slate Magazine has a lot of podcasts you can check out.

I did a short post on Slate here.

Goodshit (Extra Goodshit)

Goodshit, or extragoodshit (if you go by the URL), is a site I have been going to for a long time.

Goodshit Girl

I like to think of Goodshit as bringing out the news alongside the news. It is kind of a ‘yet another’ news aggregation site (YANAS); and yet it’s not really. Because most of the news on Goodshit will not be found on the mainline news sites.

As most of the news is depressing, the editor puts in little breaks of eye candy so you can take a break from the darkness of the world.

More about Goodshit in my main blog here.

Bored Panda

The Bored Panda site is one of the those sites I keep forgetting about until I have run out of my regular sites to visit. And then I remember Bored Panda.

I did a small item about the Bored Panda here.

They don’t have any explanation on the site as to what kinds of posts can be found on the site but one description on the Internet suggests it is “ … a place to kill time when we are bored”.

The New York Times

It is still free to open and read articles at the New York Times, but I am not too sure how much longer this will last.

Most other popular on-line newspapers (such as The Australian and the Financial Review, and even The West Australian) are beginning to put up paywalls for content and can only be a matter of time before this practice is adopted by the New York Times.

Thurrott

The Home for Tech Enthusiasts: News, Reviews, and Analysis.

This is the home page of Paul Thurrott. Paul mainly focuses on news relating to Microsoft but lately he as been commenting on and reviewing iOS- and Android-based smartphones.

If you want to find out what Microsoft are planning, or what the latest software updates are for Windows, or what Paul thinks is a good smartphone or computer to buy, then pop over to Paul's site.

Welcome to Twin Peaks

The Welcome to Twin Peaks site is a good place to catch up on anything that might be happening in the world of David Lynch and/or Twin Peaks.
