Exploring the World Beyond Tech

My Google Reader is chock-a-block with tech blogs – the obvious ones such as TechCrunch, Mashable, A VC, GigaOm; those written by friends such as Mathew Ingram, Rob Hyndman and Aiden Henry; and a bunch of Apple blogs such as The Unofficial Apple Weblog and A New Mac Tip Every Day.

But as the past few weeks, I’ve started to diversify my feeds into other areas – some related to specifics interests, and some just because they’re really interesting. Here’s a mini-list of some recent finds:

1. Kevin Kelly’s Cool Tools, which covers a variety of cools things such as books, gadgets, software, videos, maps, hardware or Web sites.

2. Wisebread, which is devoted to “personal finance and frugal living”.

3. Commute by Bike, a new favourite since I’ve started to bike to work again every day.

4. Four Reasons Why, a recently launched blog devoted to providing four reasons for a variety of things (e.g. Why James Bond Will Never Die; Why You Shouldn’t Drink Bottled Water)

5. Spacing Wire, an excellent city blog about Toronto.

6. PlanetEye, which launched last week. Note: I work for PlanetEye so it’s a must-read. :)

Meanwhile, I’ve also been pruning back the number of feeds in my reader. While Scoble can go through 622 feeds a day, I can realistically check out 20 to 30. (Speaking of Google Reader, just wondering why hasn’t the official Google Reader Blog been updated since June 22?)
