from Paul Cudenec [alt+shift+b] in life

9th Dec 2024
I have noticed that some people, even those generally receptive to my point of view, beg to differ when it comes to the existence of a single global mafia – the entity I have taken to calling the criminocracy or even demonocracy.

Greenfield Village

from Luxagraf: Topographical Writings [alt+shift+b] in life

4th Oct 2023
It's always seems slightly perverse to me to head east in a country that once lived by the slogan, go west. Whatever the case, we're eastbound again and when planning our route we ran across something called Greenfield Village. Greenfield Village is difficult to describe, but...

Fans flooded the streets to celebrate Toronto Blue Jays' star Guerrero Jr. in his hometown

from Daily Hive [alt+shift+b] in life

8th Nov 2025
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had a playoff performance for the ages. His eight home runs were the most by a Toronto Blue Jays batter in a single postseason. The 29 hits he registered ranked second all-time in MLB postseason history. He also became the first player to hit a grand slam...

10th Mar 2018
Today I am going to share some design advice that you aren’t going to get anywhere else. They don’t teach you this at the university. You won’t find articles about it in the glossy magazines. The design blogs won’t touch the subject. Research would inevitably show that there...

Conversation-Catalysing Events

from Atoms vs Bits [alt+shift+b] in life

13th Mar 2024
There's a famous British politics quote where the 1960s Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, aka Supermac, is asked the hardest thing about government and replies “Events, dear boy, events”. This probably never happened and is absolutely irrelevant to this blogpost regardless, but I...

Welcome to the first Monday of the new year. It’s 2022 and if you’re like me, it still feels like 2019 was last year. Talk about a mindfuck. This is that time of year where most productive and growth-minded people sit down and focus on their goals, their identity, and who they...

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!
