What I Read

This is an incomplete list of blogs and other Web sites that I read. Over time, I will add to it. Rather than your typical blog entry, which has a half life of a few days, I prefer to read essays — articles that 10 years from now I would still want to read, as opposed to an entry that one week later no one cares about.

I prefer to read blogs in their original form, rather than through a RSS reader. Each site has a distinctive look and for me, the look is part of the experience. I use this page to click through to the sites I want to read. The disadvantage of this approach is that I have to manually check each site. Since I am usually not looking for up-to-the-minute news, I will check most blogs and Web sites once a month or so, and thus having to manually check is not much of a burden.

I used to use an RSS reader, which aggregated all of the feeds from every site I subscribed to. I found this experience to be unpleasant. There were too many articles to read, and I felt overwhelmed. If you’re looking for a RSS reader, I recommend FeedBurner, published by NewsGator. This page provides a list of all of their RSS readers.

Not surprisingly, the real estate posts are particularly good, at least to someone like myself who is not an expert in real estate
