30 Day Online Media Fast

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

The internets they making me dumber.  As of tomorrow I’m starting a 30 day online media fast.  Here’s what I’m avoiding so far:

PopUrls.com
BoingBoing.net
CrooksAndLiars.com
ThinkProgess.org
Huffingtonpost.com
——————————-
NYTimes.com
WashingtonPost.com
LATimes.com
Salon.com

I reserve the right to add other sites as I find it necessary.

“30 Day Online Media Fast” was a success. The stream of bad news coming from some of the sites I’d been tracking had really begun to get me down. A fact that became all that more clear when I cut them out of my media diet.
