Something Awful, newsmap.jp, K10 if there's anything new, HN, and dis.4chan.org/prog/<p>I take a general overview of the internets in the morning and a couple of times later at jimmyr.com as well, to see what articles were trending from people's hatena and delicious bookmarks.
Some staples for me are:<p>Techcrunch<p>Mashable<p>Lifehacker<p>Signal vs. Noise (37 signals)<p>Smashing Magazine's Network<p>A VC (Fred Wilson)<p>Reddit<p>Drudge Report<p>NY Times<p>ESPN or, <i>shameless plug</i>, my site fanreader.com
Not including those already mentioned:<p>Techmeme<p>Twitter<p>SEOmoz<p>Search Engine Land<p>State of Search<p>HN<p>PRweb - Filter for Online Marketing (generally rubbish, but
a few gems<p>Econsultancy
Hacker News
(and Signal vs. Noise usually once a week)<p>I don't have too much time to keep up with various blogs. If it's worth reading, it's normally front page on HN.
Daring Fireball, Reddit, Signal vs. Noise, The Brooks Review, shawnblanc.net and a quick skim of Twitter (following people who post interesting stuff).
My reading list revolves around two areas which I wish to qualify the following way:<p>Job/Career/Technical competency related:<p>1. Perl blogs, Iron man blogging challenge, reading modern perl books from chromatic and associated blogs.
2. I make it a point to read whats the next interesting/challenging thing in my area of work.
3. Read questions on PerlMonks, Stackexchange.
4. Other tech stuff.<p>General Hackery:<p>1. Hacker news.
2. Tidbits collected from twitter and other places.<p>Current affairs.<p>1. news.google.com
