Being without the net for a few days, I was hit with the realization that I never watch TV news anymore, not even the headlines on CNN or The Daily Show. All my news comes for the net and the occasional foraged newspaper. I have a seemingly intact Wall Street Journal from September 17. While I do learn about bits of TV news on the net, maybe I will try to watch occasionally in an effort to feel less untethered when without the net.

I keep saying that I will get myself a Sunday New York Times and read it all in an effort to feel sorta caught up. That’s the nice thing about a tangible paper — being able to get that sense of having read the whole thing.

And I’m getting my list of English-language newspapers from around the world back together. I used to have a world news blog. I cut and pasted from my old list to create the World News Sources in English page. I still need to check the links and resort the page.

During my net free days, I worked on sorting the list of articles from the Annual Review of Anthropology that I will read over the coming year. I’ll write more about that process in a different post.
