I really like the guys at Short Form Blog, who have a really great, attractive-looking approach to aggregating the day's news online. http://www.shortformblog.com

ShortFormBlog is on my list too, along with a ton of feeds in Reader, a handful of Tumblr blogs, TechMeme, and the New York Times.

Glad I'm not the only one who likes it...apparently several people dislike it so much they're downvoting me. I'm not a sock-puppet, honest!

Right now I'm reading "Game of Thrones" on my kindle. Before that I was on a Jules Verne kick: "Around the World in 80 Days", "Journey to the Interior of the Earth" and "20,000 Leagues under the Sea" are all great fun.

Sometimes I even read something work-related: "Bureaucracy" by James Wilson and "Managing the Unexpected" by Weick and Sutcliffe.

I subscribe (i.e. physically) to The Economist and GQ. I'm subscribed to 243 feeds in Google Reader, of which maybe 50-67% are still updated. Reader tells me I 'read' 7,189 items in the past 30 days. Usually I skim headlines and look for interesting things. My favorite feeds right now are my city's alt weekly newspaper's blog, my neighborhood's unofficial blog ( http://capitolhillseattle.com/ ), James Altucher, Ben H…

Reader tells me I 'read' 7,189 items in the past 30 days Wow, I didn't know this info was available. For anyone who is wondering, it's under "Trends" in the sidebar. All Reader needs to do now is track how long users spend on each item, relative to how many words are in it.

That only works with RSS feeds supplying full articles, rather than excerpts.

I look forward to seeing updates to these feeds, though they aren't always daily.

SimoleonSense: http://www.simoleonsense.com/

O'Reilly Radar: http://radar.oreilly.com/

The various "planet" feeds (planet lisp, haskell) and "r bloggers" are always great sources of news too.
