Here are just a few of the websites that I visit on a regular basis. For websites I made/operate, please click here.

Most Visited Sites

Brand New: Opinions on corporate and brand identity work.
Photoshop Disasters: PsD highlights truly awful pieces of Photoshop work, from obscure websites to covers of Time magazine.
The Wonkette: D.C. gossip at its finest. Just like shampoo and conditioner, best results when read alongside Gawker.
Stereogum: Candy for your ears, ranked up there with The Hype Machine. If you want to be cool and know about soon-to-be-popular bands and obscure artists, these two websites are for you.

The Economist

Started in 1843, The Economist (link) argues that it is the world's most important publication. Written by anonymous authors in a "collective voice," it says its political views are "extreme centre." Its political and business reporting are top-notch, and I turn to The Economist whenever I want unbiased and highly intellectual analyses. Its coverage covers every aspect of the world, from turmoil in Uzbekistan to the tense U.S. political elections of 2008.

Esquire

Esquire (link) is one of the premier men's lifestyle magazines. A monthly publication, its focus is on luxury lifestyle, fashion and style. However, contrary to popular opinion, Esquire also includes vast quantities of political and social commentaries, as well as nonfiction and fiction featuring many well-known authors (William F. Buckley, Truman Capote, Malcolm Muggeridge, Andrew Vachss--the list goes on).

PETA

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (link) is known for its controversial campaigns; their use of the Holocaust to describe the suffering of animals drew the ire of Jewish groups around the world. They've also faced criticism from conservative Christian groups over their use of nudity and sex to bring awareness to animal rights. Whether or not you like PETA's bold tactics, you must agree that they are the forefront of the animal rights movement first started by philosopher Peter Singer.
