The following is a list of things online I point my eyeballs at frequently - a various collection of topics but angled mostly at tech. Many of these things are constant and will often appear on the Now page.

It's a little bit like a blogroll but I'm taking inspiration from that jamesg and making it much more generalised.

Blogroll & Websites

The web is filled with awesome tools and resources. Of course, we do have to include blogs in this list too!
