What I read on the web
An Introduction.
Someone asked what I read online, so I figured I’d just write it up here. The full list can be found on del.icio.us (tagged blogroll).
- Jon Udell
- Jeff Atwood
- Rashmi Sinha
- A List Apart
- Brian Oberkirch
Jon has a lot of interesting things to say about technology and the internet in general. Here are a couple highlights.
Hosted Lifebits Scenaris
The Blurred Line Between Personal Information Management and Publishing
Social Networks Then and Now
Jeff is a recent addition to my reading list. He writes about stuff that I’m interested in as a programmer. It’s generally pretty accessible though.
Computer Workstation Ergonomics
Classic Computer Science Puzzles
You’re Probably Storing Passwords Incorrectly
Rashmi talks about cognition on the web.
A Cognitive Analysis of Tagging
Looking through her posts, that’s the only thing I can find to recommend to a broad audience. Look through and see if you find anything interesting.
A List Apart just has a lot of good stuff to say about web design.
Reviving Anorexic Writing
Never User a Warning
Better Writing through design
Another recent addition. He writes about the social web. I like what he writes as I continue to think about the future of the People of Praise on the web.
Designing Portable Social Networks
Designing for Hackability
Slashdot is worth looking at at least once.
These two guys are worth reading and are excellent writers.
