I recently read this on CSS-Tricks:
There are websites that we visit because we have to, but we wouldn’t get an account with.
There are websites that we have accounts with that we would never participate in.
There are websites we participate in that we don’t enjoy.
There are websites that we enjoy but don’t participate in.
There are websites we enjoy and participate in but don’t share everything with.
There are websites that we share everything with, but don’t trust.
There are websites that we trust and share everything with; these are the sites we love.
For me – these are the website that fit in these categories:

Hey yo. This really doesn’t have anything to do with your post…BUT I was wondering if you listened to podcasts? And specifically…design podcasts? I think you’d enjoy them a lot.
