Gawker Media

I feel like I'm kissing some major ass or I should be getting paid to write this, but the other day I was just realizing how some of my favorite places to sit down and read are Gawker Media sites. They've really carved out a niche - with similar formatting, writing styles, etc. And they stay on top of stories that I enjoy, yet the mainstream won't touch (see story below, which probably will NOT be picked up by ESPN). In honor of Gawker, I encourage you to click the link above, and check out one or two of their sites...you'll probably like it.

I especially recommend Lifehacker, Deadspin, and Consumerist, but there are plenty more...
