Most of the things I read on the web are from authors I subscribe to directly. Here’s a selection of my current favorites. I don’t always agree with what they say, but more often than not, I find the content worthwhile.

• Sympolymathesy, by Chris Krycho

  https://v5.chriskrycho.com/ • RSS

  Chris writes about all sorts of topics—programming, technology, faith, music, photography. His site reflects his varied interests. His words are full of truth and hope.

• Daring Fireball

  https://daringfireball.net/ • RSS

  John Gruber’s thoughts on tech (mostly Apple) and other things. As an avid Apple user, I really appreciate his take. He’s not afraid to call out when Apple gets something wrong (and has been punished by the Apple PR department for it), but he also happily sings Apple’s praises when they get it right.

• Theme Park Insider

  https://www.themeparkinsider.com/ • RSS

  Robert Niles curates news about all theme parks, not just Disney and Universal. This is the best source for non-Disney theme park news, and maybe the most impartial source for Disney news too. The discussion on articles and in the forums is insightful and friendly; and feels like a last vestige of a bygone era of online communities.

• Yesterland

  https://www.yesterland.com/ • RSS

  Werner Weiss has been curating this wonderful website for over 30 years. A “labor of love,” filled with wonderful photographs and stories that archive the attractions, restaurants, and lands that are no longer to be found at Disney parks worldwide.

• xkcd

  https://xkcd.com/ • RSS

  Comics for nerds. Usually funny, sometimes absurd, sometimes poignant, and more often than not, over my head.

• Tangle

  https://www.readtangle.com/ • RSS

  Tangle is political news. I’m not big into politics, and I hate the spin that major news outlets put on their stories. Each day, Tangle picks one major story, gives you the facts as unbiasedly as possible, and will tell you what both sides are saying before weighing in with their own opinions.

• datagubbe - Carl Svensson

  https://www.datagubbe.se • RSS

  Retro computing, demoscene, Amiga stuff, pixel art, and general computing nostalgia.

• David Heinemeier Hansson

  https://world.hey.com/dhh • RSS

  Shots from the hip of the Dane of the wild West, the creator of Ruby on Rails, better known as DHH. Tech, politics, Linux, 🇩🇰 Denmark, culture, AI—you know what DHH has been thinking about lately because it’s on his blog.

• Jason Fried

  https://world.hey.com/jason • RSS

  Jason’s sweet spot is when he writes about the counter-cultural business practices that 37signals has adopted, and that being successful does not require acting like Big Tech in a fake-it-til-you-make-it chaos.

• Commonplace Philosophy

  https://jaredhenderson.substack.com/ • RSS

  Not typically the kind of blog I follow. I discovered Jared Henderson through his YouTube Channel when I was looking up some information on how to back up Kindle e-books (TL;DR you can’t anymore).
