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 Horowitz, and Cliff Mass (a meteorologist at the University of Washington, and a fascinating writer).

I'll skim Twitter a couple times a day when I'm waiting in line, brushing my teeth, etc. I do so more now than I used to because a website of mine gets a huge amount of traffic from tweets, and I like to stay ahead of the curve on that.

I'll skim TechMeme late at night when I've exhausted everything else.

I'll troll through the NYT and longform.org a couple times a week to add interesting things to Instapaper, too.
