Daily (or whenever it comes out), I read: xkcd, Snopes New Urban Legends, Woot!, and about six local blogs about dining locally. I subscribe to, but have in a different folder under Google Reader (so it doesn’t show up in my regular feeds on the main page): Fark Videos, Unclutterer, Candy Addict, Apartment Therapy)… I only read these when I am uber bored (although Fark Video about weekly). ---

I currently have about 150 subscriptions. A large percentage of these are comics, so they update just once a day, if that often. And many others are also infrequent updaters. I try to keep up on those that have stopped updating completely and remove them. I’ll list the folders I group the subscriptions in, with explanations where useful. [ul] [li]About comics (Blogs from creators of web comics; web comics reviews blogs, web comics news blogs)[/li][li]Amazon (Blogs from [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com))[/li][li]Asia (English language blogs originating from Asia)[/li][li]Authors (Blogs from authors whose books I read)[/li][li]Bible (Currently just a daily Bible verse blog)[/li][li]Comics[/li][li]Consumer Reports (Blogs from their site)[/li][li]General (Blogs that don’t fall in other subject folders I use)[/li][li]Google[/li][li]Humor (For instance, the “I Can Has Cheezburger?” site)[/li][li]NY Times (Blogs from the New York Times site. Currently only “The Lede” blog)[/li][li]Photography[/li][li]Politics[/li][li]Reuters (Blogs from [Reuters.com](http://Reuters.com))[/li][li]San Diego (Blogs from people living in the San Diego area)[/li][li]Science[/li][li]Science Fiction[/li][li]Slate (Blogs from [Slate.com](http://Slate.com))[/li][li]Sports[/li][/ul] ---

Until this thread, I was unaware of Google Reader. I went to investigate then starting setting it up by first going through some of the recommended items. The first one I clicked on contained [this article](http://gizmodo.com/5117122/google-street-view-captures-manwoman-peeing-in-the-street)**(NSFW)**. I love it for nothing else than just showing this to me. 😃 But seriously, thank you, this is very handy. ---
