Google Reader has become one of my most-used applications online. I never used to read RSS feeds - just a few here and there. But then I found some great ones.
Lifehacker (www.lifehacker.com)
Many geeky things, this place has original posts, as well as passes on posts from a large variety of other sites. The comments are very active - it’s a large part of the experience. They even have weekly posts dedicated to comment talk.
Hack A Day (www.hackaday.com)
This is a more techy/geeky place. A lot of harder mods and software projects from all over the place. I don’t really do any of the stuff posted here, but I like to see the cool ideas and fantasize about what I’d do if I had such mad skills. For instance, check out the frikkin sweet robo-dog.
Clientcopia (www.clientcopia.com)
This site is great for anyone dealing with Customers or users. It’s pretty much a pile of funny, bad, and awkward Client/User/Customer situations.
DailyLit (www.dailylit.com)
Not a blog, but full books, in email or RSS! You can “subscribe” to a book, most of them free, and have incremental parts emailed to you, or published to a private RSS feed. I first read A Place So Foreign, which got me into Cory Doctorow, and now I’m really into Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. If you like reading, this is a great thing to have around during workdays. You can take a short breaks (5 minutes, maybe) every once in a while to read the next piece.
There’s a bunch of others I enjoy, too:
