Weird, I know! Too bad it&#8217;s another list. Following a previous theme on this blog, here&#8217;s another round-up about another 10 websites I couldn&#8217;t live without. This list will also contain websites previously mentioned if they still are integral to my job and life. Here we go!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.underconsideration.com\/brandnew\/\">Brand New<\/a><br \/>\nA very unique branding and logo development website. It features all the new brands and re-brands coming out. The writer is very intelligent and even though a little harsh sometimes, (in fact, all of the commentators seem to be quite &#8220;snooty&#8221; as well) it does not detract from the overall service of showcasing all the new brands out there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/\">Gizmodo<\/a><br \/>\nA very cool site showcasing all the new devices, gadgets and &#8220;gizmos&#8221;. There&#8217;s web stuff, technology and more. It is part of the GAWKER network and also features sites like the all popular Kotaku and Lifehacker which is also included in this post.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/planethalflife.gamespy.com\/\">Planet Half-Life<\/a><br \/>\nAs most of you know that read this, I am a very huge gamer &#8211; as if you couldn&#8217;t guess by the domain. I am obsessed with the Half-Life series and have been since I was 13 years old when I got the original Half-Life in 1998 and fell in love. Even though the site has dwindled in updates in the recent years, it is still a good source of community, information and news within the Half-Life community.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com\/\">Photoshop Disasters<\/a><br \/>\nA great source of laughter, questioning, and sometimes even results in a &#8220;face-palm&#8221;. Although the owner\/writer sometimes misses the mark (he also likes to joke about it), it&#8217;s still a great resource for a good laugh then and again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fortysomething.ca\/mt\/etc\/\">etc.<\/a><br \/>\nAs posted in my previous post, this has made it on the list again. The writer does a great job of rounding up the best resources for web designers and developers. I find something new every time I look on the site, which is good because I check it about once every week which fits within the updates of the site quite nicely.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vbs.tv\/\">VBS.TV<\/a><br \/>\nVBS is a network of documentaries and other obscure, cool and sometimes plain-weird videos. I fell in love with this website because it has become like an alternative to cable for me, which is good, because I haven&#8217;t had cable for almost 2 years now. GOOD RIDDANCE! There&#8217;s plenty to watch, and there&#8217;s plenty of subculturism to go around.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/\">Kotaku<\/a><br \/>\nAnother gaming-related resource. Where would any gamer be without the all seeing gaming eye that is known as Kotaku? Seriously, if you are a hardcore gamer, or even somebody that games you need to bookmark this site, read it, live it, DIE WITH IT!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.smashingmagazine.com\/\">Smashing Magazine<\/a><br \/>\nAnother one that has been mentioned on a previous post but still remains to be the ultimate source of web design and development to me. Overall, it&#8217;s a great inspiration and a great way to keep on trends on the web which is important in my line of work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmdrunk.uproxx.com\/\">FilmDrunk<\/a><br \/>\nThe always lewd and rude writer and Vince Mancini keeps it in check with his movie blog that keeps me updated on all the newest movie-related news. His sarcastic and facetious style of writing ensures you a laugh with a side of celebrity gossip, movie news and everything else &#8220;Hollywood&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/\">Lifehacker<\/a><br \/>\nLike I stated above, here&#8217;s another gem from the GAWKER network. This one is focused more on saving money with a dash of technology. Like Gizmodo there&#8217;s plenty of news within the website and technology sector but this is more focused on &#8220;hacking your life&#8221;, which means getting the most out of your life and paying\/costing you less for it.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm, It seems I have missed a couple sites off my speed dial. I guess that means there will be another update sometime in the future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new post on this site? Weird, I know! Too bad it&#8217;s another list.
