COOL BLOGS TO CHECK IF YOURE BORED/IN LINE/WAITING/ETC
I was sitting in the DMV the other day and decided to just screw around on the net on my phone (for once, Id remembered to charge it all the way recently) and it occurred to me that (since I couldnt watch or listen to anything) id like to peruse a few blogs and either learn something or have one up on whoever Im talking to in the future by knowing current events or trivia.
I mean, keep in mind, Fox news is basically a conservative outlet, CNN is just confused and everywhere else is 24-hr Kardashian/celebrities-ve-never-even-heard-of. So, here's a few I found that i'd recommend:
1. NERDY AND GEEKY MUSIC http://nerdymusic.wordpress.com/
Sorta self-explanatory, but id also mention surprisingly well informed and lacking in BS about awards, celebrities, etc. UNFORTUNATELY the blog on page today was about some BS awards. So her F up but normalllly very good

2. INSTRUCTABLES http://www.instructables.com/
This is what MAKE should be.  Here's all you need to know-the front/home page says: "I want to make ___" and you fill in the blank to search the site for DIY instructions. And each is pretty well done and fully annotated.none of this "and then you build the amp" or "after that you program the game" or "once you have the wood, use it to build the wall". (in other words, instructions with no explanations)

3. ANGRY ROBOT BOOKS http://angryrobotbooks.com/books/
awesome steampunk, fantasy, sci-fi, post-apocalyptic ..and combos of the aforementioned.  If you dont see the cover art on the home page and book titles mentioned and get interested...then you're pretty boring and I don't get you.

4. NPR npr.org
Intelligent news that actually legitimately ATTEMPTS, whether successful or not in every instance, to be "fair and balanced" (rather than simply say that phrase to fool idiots into believing that the info imparted is unquestionable).

Id add more, but really, very few people read past the first few in a list (or the first page in a search, etc).
