This is a page of links to (mostly) non-blog websites that I frequent, organized by category.
News and Opinion
All news is slanted in our day. The best way to stay informed is to rely on a variety of websites, both domestic and international. It also helps to realize that the line between news and opinion is inevitably going to be blurred. With those caveats in mind, here are some websites I follow. Of course, inclusion here is not meant to imply endorsement of a given political point-of-view.
NPR. What’s pre-set on my car stereo.
The Atlantic Monthly. A print magazine that I really enjoy. Center-left in orientation, but don’t hold that against it. Really solid analysis that’s actually fair and balanced. 
Der Spiegel. German-language news.
The Tennessean. My local daily.
Slate.com. Just a lot of fun.
LewRockwell.com. A clearinghouse for libertarian and Old Right/paleoconservative opinion.
Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture. More trenchant paleocon opinion.
Arts and Letters Daily. My homepage. An aggregator of commentary, debate and book reviews on a wide array of topics.
Adbusters: A Journal of the Mental Environment.
Urban Design and Related Issues
Nashville Civic Design Center. The originators of the very well-done book The Plan of Nashville.
Metro Nashville Planning Department.
City of the Future: Reflections on Urban Life in a Lower Energy World. Lakis Polycarpou’s blog.
Next American City is a national quarterly magazine about making cities better. We observe, document and conceive realistic solutions about how to improve cities—how to ensure that future generations’ lives are improved, and not made more dangerous or unnecessarily complicated by the decisions we make. In each issue of the magazine you’ll find investigative features, thoughtful essays and interviews from the front lines of urban change and innovation.
James Howard Kunstler. Kunstler is the author of several very perceptive books, including The Geography of Nowhere and The Long Emergency. (WARNING: Kunstler uses quite a bit of salty language.)
Casaubon’s Book. This is Sharon Astyk’s blog. I find it to be really good on the practical side of peak oil/climate change issues. Her approach is also family-centered and she writes from a perspective of faith (she’s Jewish) that is lacking in a lot of other writers on these topics.
Religion and Theology
Hazelip School of Theology at Lipscomb University. Where I’m in school at the moment.
The Disciples of Christ Historical Society. A favorite haunt of mine.
Alektor Cafe and Books. An Orthodox bookstore/coffeeshop where I used to work.
R.H. Boyd Publishing Corporation. Where I currently work.
The Restoration Movement. Hans Rollman’s page of texts and other information.
Journals
Non-Institutional Churches of Christ
