I am a huge fan of the Internet. Its profound effect on our day-to-day lives is ridiculously intriguing to me. Has anyone seen this article? We consume so much data these days--and that's a beautiful thing. Never before has the access-nor the dissemination-of information been quite so democratic.
Oh yeah! Here are some of my favorite websites, for your consideration:
Smitten Kitchen: undoubtedly the gold standard in food blogging, this weblog is updated multiple times a week with some of the most enticing recipes you'll ever find! The best part is that most of them incredibly easy to adapt to whatever you've got in your pantry. Some favorites are these brownies and this pasta sauce.
Modern Love essays: Every week the New York Times posts an essay about love of all sorts. Most of 'em are quick yet thought-provoking reads; you'll be addicted in no time! This one in particular was really famous a few years back.
Ask Metafilter: Their slogan is "querying the hive mind," and it's ridiculously effective. Basically people post all sorts of oddball questions and receive answers from other users. I've used this site quite extensively for travel recommendations over the years.
1,001 Rules for My Unborn Son: This is a pretty cute little site that happened to pop up in my blog reader while I was working on this entry. Every so often the author will post adorable quips full of advice he considers indispensable for his future offspring.
Finally, this YouTube find is perfect in its simplicity:
