Almost every day, I have my daily dose of the internet. This usually consists of social networking, email, news, and checking various websites pertaining to the newest things in popular and underground culture. Since I’m not one for finance or ‘politics-only’ news sources, my favorite site to visit is the New York Magazine website, where I can read stories from emerging artists, to fashion designer experiences, to valid latest-celebrity news, and even to enjoyable political stories, etc.
Another site I frequently check is called Cool Hunting. On this site, I always find links to other places where I can learn a whole new area of expertise in searching for “cool.” New methods of art and stories behind them can be found here, as well as new products arising from secret underground companies.
Aside from the websites previously stated, I also surf through websites that contain the digital form of magazines, just like nymag.com. Underground hip-hop magazines and sneaker magazines are my usuals, but anything new that I can find will most certainly join my list of daily dosage…
It is good to know that someone’s internet search for cool is not limited to lolcats and other memes. Out of curiosity, has your lineup become a true lineup? That is to say, has an element of ritual come to be part of your browsing? Is there a specific order in which you view sites, or a specific time of day dedicated to the internet?
