Jerry Pournelle's Chaos Manor was one of the biggest reasons I used to read the print version of Byte magazine on a regular basis. Byte is no more, but Chaos Manor lives. This is a geeky journalist who happens to be an SF author and (seems to be) an all-around nice guy. |

RBT's PC Hardware in a nutshell. This is for his daybook. Live vicariously through others? Only if it's interesting. |
 |
Fox News Channel. Fair & Balanced. Yep. |
 |
The Reference Desk has links to knowledge about just about anything. The first draw was the connection speed test. |
 |
New Scientist deals with breaking news in the world of science. Most of the articles are not quite up to the minute, but are certainly timely. |
 |
I'm mostly interested in computer news, so this is the first news channel I check in the morning. Updated throughout the day |
 |
Another news channel. This is more of a daily. |
 |
Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. Well, here's a good place to go to learn about the past. This page is getting heavier on graphics and advertising, but the history is still good. I recommend the main history articles and the Automotive history. |

This is the on-line version of Byte. Not as good as holding a magazine in your hands, but better than nothing. They seem to have brought in many of the old columnists, which is a plus. The best part, though, is that they maintain the spirit of the old Byte. |
 |
This is the on-line version of PC Magazine. I gave up on the print version. Seemed there were too many ads, not enough "good" content. But every once in a while.... |
 |
Ziff Davis publishes PC Magazine. Not as stimulating and wonderful as the old BYTE magazine, but pretty good. This is no replacement for the print version, but this is still pretty good. |
 |
FredOnEverything is a newspaper column on the web, providing politically incorrect commentary on subjects great and small. |
 |
The Register is a biting, scathing look at the world. News that sometimes just doesn't make it on other news sites. "Biting the hand that feeds IT" |
