Rampant egosurfing
  Chris's personal site gets several tens of thousands of people passing by every month.
  Corrobbo is Chris's side venture, a database-driven teamwork application.
  Espresso stories is a fun site devoted to ultra-short fiction of 25 words or less.

People & pundits
  Mark Anderson writes SNS, a insider's take on technology markets. The readers' letters are as entertaining as the content - a great communications platform.
  Jakob Nielsen is the best-known face - and he is good. But his Nielsen Norman Group colleague Bruce Tognazzini is less proscriptive, while the Creative Good guys are more entertaining.
  David Weinberger's JoHO newsletter is long, but thoughtful.

Places
  Burning Man is something I look forward to all year. Take a look at the website and see if it's for you.
