Somewhere in Arizona there is a man named Naum and he seems to read everything. And then he culls the good stuff and posts links and excerpts at his Tumblelog AZspot.
Lots and lots and lots of the good stuff.
I don’t know much of anything about Naum beyond the few details on his “About” page — I don’t even know whether or not that much of his name is a pseudonym. Yet after reading the links and excerpts he’s posted for the past few years, I feel like I know him, just based on the cumulative effect of reading so much of what he’s selected (and from the very rare occasions when he writes something himself). This much I’m sure about: He’s an interesting person who’s interested in interesting things.
He describes AZspot as a:
Tumblelog about politics, computers, technology, radio, Arizona, science, justice, war, world affairs, globalization, economics, games, design, sports, history, comics, psychology, philosophy, religion and any other interesting tidbits I stumble about on the internets …
That seems like it should cover it, what with that elastic clause of “any other interesting tidbits,” but it still seems like he’s reading, sifting and sharing even more than that.
The Internet is large and none of us can ever read the whole thing (believe me, I’ve tried). That makes sites like AZspot invaluable as curators and tour guides — places we can turn to make sure we haven’t missed anything we wouldn’t have wanted to miss.
