The Links Edition
06:43 April 11, 2008 Filed in: General
Today I thought I would post the websites that I
enjoy reading. They are a diverse group of links but
constitute the greatest amount of web traffic from me
on a daily basis. Therefore, without further
introduction I present the Friday, April 11 Links
Edition.
MacRumors - a website dedicated to news and rumors surrounding Apple, Inc. The website features the latest information about your favorite company, reviews of new products, and a handy buying guide which will let you know whether you should wait just a few more weeks for that new computer/iPod/iPhone as a new version may be ready for release.
Digg - Digg is a place for people to discover and share content from anywhere on the web. From the biggest online destinations to the most obscure blog, Digg surfaces the best stuff as voted on by our users. Everything on Digg — from news to videos to images to Podcasts — is submitted by their community (you and me, etc.). Once something is submitted, other people see it and Digg what they like best. If your submission rocks and receives enough Diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of our visitors to see.
Weather.com - It's always good to know the forecast.
The Art of Manliness - A blog dedicated to uncovering the lost of being a man. Generation X and Y is a generation of Lost Boys. We live in a Never-Never-Land where boys stay boys and never become men. More and more males today are putting off college, family, and adult responsibilities in order to play video games and do keg stands. Don’t believe me that today’s man is lost? How about some numbers? 1) 2/3 of men in the U.S. are overweight or obese. 2) Men only make up 42 percent of U.S. college students. 3) The average male carries around $2,369 in credit-card debt. 4) Three out of ten drink too much. 5) A majority of males between the ages of 30 and 18 receive greater financial support from their parents and has more debt than previous generations. 6) The average adult man plays video games 7.6 hours per week. The Art of Manliness is dedicated to helping men uncover what manliness means in the 21st century. What skills and knowledge should a 21st Century man acquire? What traits should they develop? In the search to uncover the lost art of manliness, they look to the past to find examples of manliness in action. They analyze the lives of great men who knew what it meant to “man up” and hopefully learn from them.
Macworld - Another website dedicated to Apple, Inc. However the focus of this site is more on reviews, tips, and articles about how to best incorporate technology into your life. Here you will find tips, hints, and ideas to best make the products you own today best work for you.
Wired - A site dedicated to anything technology related. From the obscure to the mainstream, from lawsuits to anime. It's all here.
CrossFit - CrossFit is the principal strength and conditioning program for many police academies and tactical operations teams, military special operations units, champion martial artists, and hundreds of other elite and professional athletes worldwide. This program delivers a fitness that is, by design, broad, general, and inclusive. Their specialty is not specializing. Combat, survival, many sports, and life reward this kind of fitness and, on average, punish the specialist. The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. They have used the same routines for elderly individuals with heart disease and cage fighters one month out from televised bouts. They scale load and intensity; they don’t change programs.
Hulu - Hulu's ambitious and never-ending mission is to help you find and enjoy the world's premium content when, where and how you want it. This site hopes to provide you with the web's most comprehensive selection from more than 50 content providers including FOX, NBC, MGM, Sony Pictures Television, Warner Bros., Lionsgate, and more to deliver premium programming across all genres and formats, television shows, feature films, and clips. Watch full-length episodes of current primetime TV shows such as The Simpsons and The Office the morning after they air, classics like Miami Vice and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and clips from Saturday Night Live, Nip/Tuck, and others. Hulu also offers full-length feature films like The Usual Suspects, Ice Age, Three Amigos!, and The Big Lebowski as well as clips from films such as Napoleon Dynamite, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Devil Wears Prada and many more. Hulu is free and ad-supported — available anytime in the U.S.
