Mission Capable Web Sites

Bottom Line Up Front: These are the sites/blogs that I read every day. They allow me to get a full picture of tech, gear, fitness, and productivity news.

I don’t actually go to any of the sites themselves very often because I read them in RSS format. RSS feeds can be easily collated by a number of websites and apps to get them all in one place. The best RSS reader I have found is Feedly. Great Android app and also has a great web-based interface for collecting different feeds to read. Easy to use and syncs across devices so you mark something are read one place, it is read on every device. FYI: You can follow this site using an RSS reader with this URL.

Fitness

Mark’s Daily Apple: Best single fitness resource out there today.  Mark Sisson continues to set the standard.  Mark puts out a once-a-week Weekend Love Link each weekend with a collection of his work and other things around the internet worth your time.  If you read one thing each week, it would be this!  Example here.

Robb Wolf: Robb is one of my heroes. Online library is full of great articles for free.

Chris Kresser:  Great detail and science into nutrition/health.

MobilityWoD: Kelly Starrett was always present in the CrossFit scene talking about mobility, but his knowledge has taken a step into the mainstream with books and appearances on various forms of media.

Katy Says:  Katy is a biomechanist and expert on movement.  Great articles and books on making your body work the right way.

Tech

LifeHacker: Eclectic collection of tech news, gear reviews, productivity tricks, etc.

Engadget: Tech news basics.

The Wirecutter: Product reviews bible, mostly tech. Before you buy anything go here.

Gear

Rogue Fitness. Rogue gear is top notch, highest quality, and made in Ohio by real people committed to fitness.  I own several thousand dollars worth. I can attest to its quality. Worth every penny!

Other

FiveThirtyEight: Site started by Nate Silver. Takes statistical/economic look at life. Much like Freakonomics and Malcolm Gladwell books, if you are into that sort of thing as I am.

Art of Manliness: They come up with some very cool things on a wide array of subjects from cooking to jiu-jitsu to camping to grooming to cold showers.  You will be surprised by the quality.

The Blog of Tim Ferris: From the Author of the Four Hour Work Week, Body, and Chef.  Time gets into great detail on a lot of smart things from investing to tech to life (I recommended his podcast in the Audio section for the same reasons).
