			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google Reader has become one of my most-used applications online. I never used to read RSS feeds &#8211; just a few here and there. But then I found some great ones.</p>
<p><strong>Lifehacker</strong> (<a href="http://www.lifehacker.com">www.lifehacker.com</a>)</p>
<p>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 &#8211; it&#8217;s a large part of the experience. They even have weekly posts <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5108654/gather-round-the-water-cooler-my-kittens">dedicated to comment talk</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Hack A Day</strong> (<a href="http://www.hackaday.com">www.hackaday.com</a>)</p>
<p>This is a more techy/geeky place. A lot of harder mods and software projects from all over the place. I don&#8217;t really do any of the stuff posted here, but I like to see the cool ideas and fantasize about what I&#8217;d do if I had such mad skills. For instance, check out the <a href="http://hackaday.com/2008/12/11/walkdrive-a-dogmotorcycle/">frikkin sweet robo-dog</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Clientcopia</strong> (<a href="http://www.clientcopia.com">www.clientcopia.com</a>)</p>
<p>This site is great for anyone dealing with Customers or users. It&#8217;s pretty much a pile of funny, bad, and awkward Client/User/Customer situations.</p>
<p><strong>DailyLit</strong> (<a href="http://www.dailylit.com">www.dailylit.com</a>)</p>
<p>Not a blog, but full books, in email or RSS! You can &#8220;subscribe&#8221; 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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a bunch of others I enjoy, too:<span id="more-87"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://compsci.ca/blog"><strong>Computer Science Canada Blog</strong></a> &#8211; A great blog from a great community, talking about the study of computer science.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.oddco.ca/zeroth/zblog/"><strong>Zeroth Code</strong></a> &#8211; A member of CompSci.ca, he posts some interesting articles on computer science topics, like <a href="http://www.oddco.ca/zeroth/zblog/2008/12/10/changing-types-in-python/">Python tricks</a> and opinions on <a href="http://www.oddco.ca/zeroth/zblog/2008/07/22/copyright-proposals/">Canadian copyright law</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.futilitycloset.com/"><strong>Futility Closet</strong></a> &#8211; Many odd facts, math quizes, and weird stories. No comments, though, which sometimes displeases me.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/">Dragonmount</a>, <a href="http://www.wotmania.com/">WoTMania</a>, <a href="http://www.dragonmount.com/RobertJordan/">Robert Jordan&#8217;s Blog,</a><a href="http://www.brandonsanderson.com/"> Brandon Sanderson&#8217;s Blog</a></strong> &#8211; great news updates and other information for any Wheel Of Time fan. Also, the Wheel Of Time newsgroup at Dragonmount is pretty good.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://xkcd.com/">xkcd comics</a> and <a href="http://blag.xkcd.com/">blag</a></strong><a href="http://blag.xkcd.com/"> </a>- The comics are great, and the blag even put to test the <a href="http://blag.xkcd.com/2008/09/09/the-goddamn-airplane-on-the-goddamn-treadmill/">airplane-on-treadmill conundrum</a> that has kept /b/tards a /g/eeks arguing within themselves for ages.</p>
<p>And of course&#8230; Laura&#8217;s blog (and Sophie&#8217;s too!) doesn&#8217;t get updated (<em>ever :( </em>), but she&#8217;s still pretty funny and I get bonus points for linking it.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m always on the look out for other good feeds, so if you&#8217;ve got any, let me know&#8230;</p>
