Okay, the weekly features aren’t really working out because I’m just not imaginative in coming up with things. So no more weekly links or TTT. Still, there are a lot of good websites out there, particularly blogs. Here’s a few of my favourites:

I thought I’d take some time to write down my views on ethics before they completely change as a result of writing an ethics thesis.

Sometime this afternoon this blog had it’s thousandth visit. Even though a lot of blogs would get that many in a day, and my reasons for writing it are more for my self than to attract readers (mainly to work on my writing skills and get ideas clearer in my head), I’m pretty happy about it.

Rate Your Students is one of a handful of sites that I visit regualrly. It’s basically a place where university professors can vent about the students that shit them.

The Top Ten Tuesday is another weekly feature that I’m trying out. Since it’s already Wednesday it’s obvious that such things are limited by my laziness. That also means that it will probably be quite rare to have a list with as many as ten things on it. Today is an exception. Here are ten [...]

Every week I’m going to try and put up a few links to websites that I like. This week I’ve got three links, all from humour webpages: The Onion, Something Awful and Cracked.
