Text Only News Sites

Graphic intensive sites are horrible on mobile. I am a news junkie. And I like to check the latest news on my phone. But waiting for Facebook plugins to load, or ads to load just degrade the entire experience.

I had a really old computer and I used to browse the web with the lynx text browser in MS-DOS. Text news sites, like the old Excite news portal, were a god send.  I was able read the AP wire and just get the news.

A while back I found a site that had a list of text only or news sites that looked really good on mobile.  I am going to try to recreate it here. It will be a running list, so check back.

Changing directions...

Welcome...

This used to be the blog for my now defunct Spanish rock podcast.  The old episodes will still be available if you want to scroll down and check them out.  I'll be changing the topic moving forward.
