Morning Mocha – The News of the Day
The fifth stop in my morning Internet ritual is a bit shaky. I’ve been mostly on a news holiday for the last half a dozen years – I began to feel like I’d pretty well heard it before. I’m trying to get back into the “responsible citizen” mode. Some mornings, I get my news via Doonesbury, sometimes I go for the more formal approach of Google News,, sometimes I check Slashdot because I really like their motto, “News for Nerds, Stuff that matters,” even though I never really understand what they’re talking about (unlike what I get from CNN?), and sometimes I just follow Simon and Garfunkel and check the weather report.
So how about you? Do any of you have morning Internet rituals – sites that are worth checking daily, either because of their enduring interest and value or because of their particular meaning to you?
My first morning stop was The Astronomy Picture of the Day
My second stop was The Hunger Site
My third was Comparing Notes
My fourth was Wikipedia’s daily featured article.
