What I’ve Been Reading

by Newley on August 22, 2008

From the world’s greatest journeys to blogging geekery to funny accents, here’s a list of some material I’ve been enjoying online over the past months but haven’t had time to link to until now:

Travel:
– Wanderlust: GOOD magazine “maps out history’s greatest journeys, from Magellan to Kerouac”

– World Hum interview: “Paul Theroux: Invisible Man on a Ghost Train”

– Mashable.com: “25+ Tools for a Road Trip 2.0″

Blogging:
– ReadWriteWeb: “The Future of Blogging Revealed”

– 10,000Words.net: “15 Journalists’ outstanding personal sites”

– Merlin Mann: “What Makes for a Good Blog?”

– Chris Brogan: “A Sample Blogging Workflow”

Audio recording and radio journalism:
– The Freesound Project: “a collaborative database of Creative Commons licensed sounds”

– Transom.org: “Remote Recording Survival Guide”

Just for Fun:
“Can You Guess Where My Accent is From?”

“Average Athlete vs Olympic Athlete”

– Calaboca.com: “Bacilos – Sin Verguenza,” a post about an album from one of my favorite bands. (Aside: Best track from this album — with silly lip syncing fan vid: “Pasos de Gigante.”)

Where We Do What We Do: pics of work spaces. And nothing more.

Awesome links!

Paul Theroux is my new secret crush, ever since he got liposuction for a BBC special on plastic surgery. Fucking adorable, that guy.
