Other web sites I like:
Of course everyone who has a web site has to have a links page so here's mine. These are sites either that I'm in the habit of visiting often or that I find useful.
Types: All News Blogs Books Columns Comics Gay Tech ReferenceVisited: All Daily Weekly Monthly Quarterly Infrequently Other
News
These are the sites I visit to learn about current events. Many of these sites also have good feature articles and commentaries.
The Daily Telegraph: Sure the New York Times or Washington Post may be the American papers of record, but I like getting a British perspective
Dayton Daily News: An ugly, poorly-designed site with an annoying registration requirement, but worth visiting for me as a Daytonian because it covers Dayton (as does the Dayton City Paper).
Queer Day: Blog or news site? Whatever you call it, it's updated daily with news from around the globe that affects gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and allies (in other words, queers)
Salon: Another web magazine, similar to Slate, but definitely independent (you have to watch a short commercial each day to get a pass to read the articles, but it's worth it if you're too cheap to subscribe [plus you can background that window, do something else and come back when the commercial is over)
Slate Magazine: Yes, it's owned by Microsoft but it has good articles on issues in the news and about life in general
The Village Voice: The Voice has good news coverage and interesting features (including Savage Love -- scroll down to find it).
Wired News: News from a techno/geek perspective but about all issues
Blogs
What counts as a blog? Perhaps self-identification is all that matters. At any rate, these are the blogs I find entertaining or interesting.
Andrew Sullivan: British ex-pat, former editor of The New Republic, current pundit and writer, alleged barebacker, Republican supporter and same sex marriage advocate. I don't always agree with what he writes, but he's almost always interesting.
Boing Boing: I think I came across this after reading a novel by Cory Doctorow, and he does post cool stuff here, but so do some of his friends, on items related to politics and technology, among other topics.
The Gadgets Weblog: Updated daily with news and reviews about all the latest and greatest hi tech gadgets
Kinja, the weblog guide: This cool site aggregates other sites, in this case gay weblogs, making it easy to find interesting stuff and sites.
Queer Day: Blog or news site? Whatever you call it, it's updated daily with news from around the globe that affects gay men, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and allies (in other words, queers)
Today in Alternate History: I've enjoyed a few books about alternate histories and really enjoy this site, with Robbie Taylor's clever twists on people and events.
Comics
I used to spend some time each day reading the comics page when I subscribed to the local newspaper. I could still read most of those strips online, but I care about only a few. Also, some of the best comics aren't printed in a paper.
Dilbert: Still going strong (and probably will be as long as there are Induhviduals)
User Friendly: Perhaps not the first comic strip about computer geeks you'd think of but perhaps even better
Gay
Why do we need special sites? Because we're gay! Get used to it.
