Thought it would be a good idea to list a few sites that are good for general online reading.
http://www.wired.com/wired/ - wired host column authors of the caliber of William Gibson - the writing is both inspiring and brilliant. I have been reading this one since 1993 and it just doesn't get tired.
I'll add more as I truly believe them worthy, I guess the best part about wired is you can read all their back issues online as well. Personally, I recommend buying the printed version - it makes a perfect coffee table book.
