Headlamps are better flashlights

A brief and silly life-hack: headlamps are better flashlights. Most of the time when you are using a flashlight, you need to use your hands too. Headlamps solve that problem. They’re bright enough for most purposes and are usually smaller than flashlights too. There are very few...

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!
