Media consumption meme

Spotted this on Nancy White’s blog and tagged myself. This is my media consumption diet:

Web:
I’m online much of the day. Firefox is my browser of choice. I love exploring and playing with new web-based anything: LibraryThing, Flickr, Library 2.0 on Ning, del.icio.us, Twitter… (And I’m just looking at all those other sites I’ve played with but neglected lately like CoComment, Connotea, Zotero, last.fm, douban…). I’d be lost without my feed aggregator (Google Reader at the moment). I read the news – SMH, BBC, The New Zealand Herald (just to see what our friends across the Tasman are doing), Utusan Malaysia, and PerthNorg (because our local rag is completely unsatisfying). Strangely I don’t read any of the traditional news sources via feeds (I go to each site directly!).

Radio:
I listen to the radio everyday, alternating between the ABC‘s Radio National (“A world of ideas“) and Classic FM (“The world’s most beautiful music“). I love my trusty wind-up radio.

TV:
I’ve started watching The Bill again. Apart from that I don’t watch tv. I can’t stand the ads on commercial tv.

Movies:
If not for M I probably wouldn’t watch movies much at all. I don’t seem to care enough about them to make them a priority. When I do watch, my preference is for sci-fi flicks. I can’t stand romantic comedies or musicals.

Communication:
Twitter is changing my use of my mobile phone. I like IM too and my family relies on email for much of our communication and regular updates.

Books:

Currently reading:
War Trash by Ha Jin
Wikinomics: How mass collaboration changes everything by Don Tapscott and Anthony D Williams
Merpati putih terbang lagi by Khadijah Hashim
Blogosphere: The new political arena by Michael Keren (apparently controversial, among some bloggers, at least, as this author says you only blog if you’re lonely.)

Magazines:
I subscribe to New Scientist (one of the highlights of my week is receiving this in the letter box. Really! I’m so easily pleased), New Internationalist, Quarterly Essay, and National Geographic (just for the pictures). I sometimes buy The Monthly, and I read M’s Atomic.

Newspapers:
Nope. Newsprint smells. (And why dirty my hands when I can read online??)

Music:
My taste is eclectic, I guess. I like Mozart, Bach, REM, and stuff usually classified as “world” music in the shops.

What about you? Do you have a varied media consumption diet?

(Re the term “media consumption diet”, I’ve now seen this in three places over the last 24 hours, Nancy’s and Jeremiah Owyang’s blogs, and now via lint, a pointer to the Library Journal‘s 2007 Movers and Shakers‘ Media Diet.)
