from Caroline Crampton [alt+shift+b] in life

3 weeks ago
The most popular link last time was the Luytens Crypt, with this piece about culling your book collection second. I can feel myself becoming ever more algorithm-phobic. This is how I want everything recommended to me, these days. I found this audio serialisation of Hiroshima,...

With thanks to Steven Rosenberg

from Rubenerd [alt+shift+b] in life

3rd Nov 2025
Lately I’ve got used to waking up and checking my email and socials, and sorting through the latest troll or person angry about something I didn’t say. In a word, not great… assuming you hyphenate not and great, which I didn’t do there for some reason. This morning, I got this...

Push the Fence

from Raptitude.com [alt+shift+b] in life

16th Jul 2024
I know how to replace a kitchen faucet. If you have a janky old faucet that needs to be replaced with a smoothly operating new one, I can do that for you or show you how. This wasn’t always true. It became true May 27, 2024, after pulling everything out of the under-sink...

Casse-Croûte MangeDansMonHood

from Sherman's Food Adventures [alt+shift+b] in life

2nd Apr 2026
After our morning visit to Automne Boulangerie, we walked down the block to our 2nd eating destination in Casse-Croûte MangeDansMonHood.  This place is well-known for their smash burgers that were once only available during pop-ups.  Their menu is supremely simple and focused. ...

Uniform

from Carl Barenbrug RSS Feed [alt+shift+b] in life

3rd Feb 2024
Ever thought of having a personal uniform? Not the typical work attire, but a carefully curated capsule wardrobe that reflects a cohesive style. My interest in fashion is limited, yet the concept of capsule wardrobes has fascinated me for years. I've been chipping away at...

Maximum connections have been reached

from Rubenerd [alt+shift+b] in life

4th Apr 2026
I was going through my drafts folder, and came across a post I’d written way back in 2018. I’m not sure what site I was browsing at the time, but it was still a fun observation. If I came across this error in a more modern context, I’d assume site owners are placing limits to...

For as long as I can remember I had been very unhappy with myself. I think I have internalised the judgement of people upon me: lazy, fickle, impulsive, over-sensitive, emotional, bad-tempered, etc....

30 years old

from Daniel Bourke [alt+shift+b] in life

9th Sep 2023
I remember sitting in the car on the way to drop my brother to preschool. Being 9 years old and telling my mum how excited I was to turn ten. Double digits! I feel the same way about 29 to 30. I hardly even got used to saying I’

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
