I know some of the guys over at LinkSwarm and, let me tell ya, they ain't kidding when they call themselves "a loose collection of geeks, aesthetes, trolls, kind-hearted flatlanders, graphic designers, net fuckos, bored anarchists, mack daddys, wanna-be revolutionaries, IT whores, film buffs, sociologists, gun nuts, and visionaries". Well, I don't know about "visionaries", but they're definitely "loose"...

I'm of two minds about NPR. It's a big business, not truly alternative, grassroots radio. On the other hand, it's also the source of some of the most intelligent news and commentary on the air.
I don't get up too early if I can help it; but, when I do, I start my day with NPR's Morning Edition.
The folks at Macroscopic Labs bring you fresh surf about stuff like energy, the environment, war, and politics--from biodiesel to Burning Man.
If you're a geek like me, and you've never visited Slashdot you must have been living under a log (or under a court order of some kind). A bit wild and wooly, but free and open, it reminds me of the way the 'net and bulletin boards were back in the "good old days" (a whole decade ago)...
