For more thoughts on why I love personal websites, you can read my post From Social Feeds to Personal Feeds.
Here’s a collection of:
- Personal websites and blogs that I’ve bookmarked/subscribed to via RSS, and frequently visit/read. When I discover a new one, I love digging through the archives and reading the posts and pages that catch my attention.
- Newsletters I’m subscribed to and enjoy reading.
- Articles, essays, and other writings that I’ve found inspiring or thought-provoking, and that I believe are worth reading.
