Webbacklog
I love going into the archives of my favourite blogs, starting at the beginning, scrolling to the bottom of the pages and reading up through the posts. Yes, I even do this with my own blog. The freaky part is, it took me only a week or two to read Kottke.org in its entirety, while it took a good 5 years for him to write. This is why I prefer "date" archives as opposed to "category" archives. I don't care what the posts are about, I just want to read from beginning to end (or end to beginning).

Another strange phenomenon is that I do this over and over with the same weblogs. No matter how often I read the posts, they always seem fresh. I guess you could say, we're fresh obsessed. But then again, you couldn't.
