I have been looking at this long-neglected blog and my (very short) blogroll and comparing it to what I still read on the web. Out of the four that were listed, I still read two of them regularly, one occasionally, and the final one is out of business. The two I still read, Instapundit and James Lilek's Bleat, both have withstood the test of time and remain valuable. If Steven Den Beste were still producing USS Clueless I have no question I would still be reading it. I have drifted away from Patterico, I think because I grow tired of the political battles that are the center of so many blogs.

What am I reading now? Well, model railroading forums from Model Railroader and Atlas are must-reads for me. I really enjoy Vodkapundit. I like that cracker bastard, Velociman, for a change of pace.

Other than these, there isn't the form to my web content consumption that there used to be. I just don't feel compelled to read the entire internet like I once was. Perhaps I have seen enough of it to know now that no matter how far I travel in the virtual world I am not going to find perfection.
