Let’s throw out a list….

Lloyd put out a call for lists:

So, who would like to share a list of something on a weblog entry? Come on, you've got a list stashed somewhere. I know it. 😉 Naturally, I'll list all responses here.

I was particularly struck by Lloyd's list of periodicals that he has subscribed
to at one point or another: Let me put in bold ones I also subscribed to at one
point or another.

  • Atlantic Monthly
  • Brill's Content
  • Commentary
  • Dissent
  • The Economist
  • Elysian Fields Quarterly
  • Far Eastern Economic Review
  • Foreign Affairs
  • Granta
  • Harper's Magazine
  • In These Times
  • Macworld
  • MacWeek
  • Mother Jones
  • The Nation
  • National Geographic
  • The New Republic
  • New Scientist
  • The New York Review of Books
  • The New York Times
  • The New Yorker
  • Newsweek
  • The Progressive
  • Psychology Today
  • Red Herring
  • The San Francisco Chronicle
  • Scientific American
  • Sports Illustrated
  • Threepenny Review
  • Tikkun
  • TIME
  • The Times Literary Supplement
  • US News and World Report
  • Utne Reader
  • Vanity Fair
  • Washington Monthly
  • Weekly Standard
  • WebTechniques
  • Wilson Quarterly
  • WIRED

I'll throw in two lists of my own:

  • My amazon
    wishlist
    -- which I add to through my wireless phone when I'm browsing
    at a bookstore and see a book that intrigues me. I just type a search on amazon
    and drop it on the list,
  • My
    current RSS subscription list
    in OPML (XML) format.

Not terribly inspired but I'm sure revealing, nevertheless.

Fluidity is a tough thing to accomplish at times

ugh, I need to start writing here more often, and at greater length, because I'm losing my fluidity and my sense of my own voice. I want to follow up on Raymond's wonderful piece on the presentation by Neil Brand, which he and friends Ildi and Peter and I attended on Saturday night. I'm having so much trouble composing that I've been making notes in MS word and shuffling them around, the way I used to when I was on deadline. One thing I like about blogging is that I don't usually have to do that--so I'd better get back into practice.

I sympathize....I find that blogging is a game of inertia -- though not exactly of the Newtonian type. A body in motion stays in motion; a body at rest stays at rest. I know how fluid Laura's writing can be -- so I look forward to the return of words to her blog!
