Longform.com
This is a cool site that aggregates links to in-depth pieces of writing. Also has podcasts from contemporary writers. I’ve grown increasingly addicted to this site over the last 36 hours. Its a wonderful filter for all the noise on the web that offers only the composed writerly thoughts of journalists and the like.
Some of the interesting articles I’ve come across:
A piece on SNL writer Jack Handey
A story on the Dread Pirate Roberts, a bitcoin black market internet entrepreneur.
which got me interested in this article about the virtual bitcoin currency.
A profile on Jim Harrison from Outside
articles by David Foster Wallace
