I use to have a very big list that I would consume via RSS. I kept making the list smaller and smaller as I wasn't checking it very often and thought that was the reason. Then I realized why: for the most part I was seeing the best of those articles on HN. So now, for my daily reads, it is 100% HN + some curated newsletters I'm subscribed too.

Please share your preferred newsletters -- I can't seem to find the good ones.

Peter Cooper has three of them that are hard to beat: http://rubyweekly.com, http://javascriptweekly.com, and http://html5weekly.com.

I'll plug mine as well: Hacker Newsletter - http://www.hackernewsletter.com, which is a product of what I said above. :)

I read Alvin Ashcraft's Morning Dew, which is a .NET resource. He posts links to tons of articles every morning on 10 different topics. It's fun to read up on such a variety of different topics.

I also read the Daily WTF every day. It's great to have a chance to look at crappy code and try to re-write it in your head on how it should have been done.

Sebastian Marshall? The liar who claimed to jump-kick gangsters? Hahahahahahahahaahaha

Hi. I'm Sebastian, and I don't lie very often, certainly not about ridiculous stuff. You're conflating two stories:

1. I had a mugging attempt in a bad part of Saigon (by the slums by the river after exploring) and I kicked one of the muggers in the stomach and shouted at the other.

2. I got into a shouting match with a gangster in a McDonald's who had been yelling at the employees and spat on the floor, and was otherwise being a jackass. I told him to knock it off, a shouting match ensued, and later two police officers came, one with riot gear.

The closest I ever came to jumpkicking was when I got into a fight in a brothel when they tried to shake me down for extra cash afterwards. I kicked one of the guys after he grabbed me roughly. But even then, I didn't jumpkick - that's more of a movies thing than a real life thing.

Anyways, I can understand your skepticism, though the rudeness is unnecessary - you could just ask if you wanted details.

I've followed Sebastian's blog for quite a while now, and have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps I missed some crucial post? Just doesn't seem like a fitting description of his blog.

Anyway, I recommend everyone to take a look at his writing and to judge it yourselves. I think it's good stuff, and has inspired me to push myself harder.
