What RSS Feeds Do You Use?

oncehour writes "I'm looking to broaden my horizons in terms of news, industry information, and generally good-to-know stuff. I've found a lot of great blogs and websites over the years, but I'm wondering what Slashdotters read regularly? What's in your RSS feeds?" We discussed this back in 2004, but the list of quality feeds has grown quite a bit in the past four years. Try to include at least a minimal description, so we know if we'll be looking at NASA news or up-to-the-minute cowboy boot fashion trends.

My feeds

• Sorting it all Out - a Microsoftie who specializes in i18n/l10n. This is always a joy to read, even for those who don't run Windows.
• Sutter's Mill - Anyone doing heavy C++ will know of Herb Sutter. His blog is updated regularly with standards work and other interesting C++-related things.
• MAKE Magazine - Making weird stuff just for the hell of it.
• TEDTalks videos - TED never fails to fascinate me.

If you insist...
