purplerabbits at 04:21pm on 20/05/2004 under notes-and-queriesI hope that everyone noticed that the last post was exactly 200 words long - I pasted it into Word to check just so it would fit the title.
And to answer my own questions:
Web comic: I currently read Dilbert, Doonesbury, W00t and Sinfest through LJ and Diesel Sweeties separately since the feed seems to be defunct. The only obscure one I can recommend is Hello Cthulhu which is sort-of-weekly-ish.
Classic Literature: I think The Moonstone is somewhat under-rated
Witty Writing: Neil Gaiman's A Study in Emerald is great if you know your Holmes.
Thoughtful writing: Jared Diamond's Why do some societies make disastrous decisions.
Legal MP3 - I use and endorse Epitonic. They have Spiritualized and No Means No as well as a heap of more obscure stuffs.
Salad: I'm at a bit of a loss here, since I like ready packed Caesar salad and have yet to make anything from scratch that I like as much (or can be bothered to make).
Famous LJ people include Warren Ellis, Charlie Stross (well he's getting there), JWZ and Momus. Other famous type blogs I read are Noam Chomsky, Ken Macleod, Bruce Stirling, Neil Gaiman and William Gibson who sems to have stopped. Most of the links are in my info page, if you want to add them.
