On Web Culture

Some of my favourite things are online. So in the spirit of the net I would like to share some of them:

Mischievous Meg
I’m not sure exactly how I stumbled upon Mischievous Meg. I think it might have been from a web design showcase site. I guess I kinda agree with them but it’s Meg’s blogging I keep coming back for.

You know when you enjoy a site so much you don’t want to share it in case it gets overrun by haters? This site is like that. Meg writes about her life and her experiences in a way I wish I had. An antipodean bohemian who travels in-between posting about studying at Oxford and taking terrific photos. And, well, if this post doesn’t sell you on Meg you’re a lost cause.

So go read Meg. And keep her secret! Ssssssh.

Dead Air Space
Radiohead rebooted the design of their blog a little while ago now but let’s pretend it just happened…Fresh look for Radiohead’s blog! Awesome. Radiohead are big influences on me and not just from a musical point of view so Dead Air Space is a good way to satisfy the cravings that waiting for the next Radiohead album bring on.

Radiohead have always had a kind of ambivalent approach to the net, their online store w.a.s.t.e. is certainly functional. But at least they’re not trying to talk to me through a myspace page. Don’t expect regular posting here but then, expect a more intimate experience. You’ll also spot longtime Radiohead collaborator Stanley Donwood contributing as well.

Speaking Freely
The blog of Dean or DigitalGhost actually came of searching the interweb for the kind of blogs I sought to emulate. Speaking Freely is one of the newest blogs I am reading and it’s exciting to have a new blog I enjoy. I can relate to Dean’s freedom to finally speak freely. This post should get you started: Why Reading A Book Doesn’t Make Anyone An Expert.

Right. That’s enough for now. If you’re good, there will be more…
