Conversation-Catalysing Events

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

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 love saying it and

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!
