Where do I get my tech fix?

I have a routine every morning when I get on the bus--get settled in the second seat in from the front, grab my Dash and get the latest from the Wall Street Journal.

When I get to work, after getting my toast and coffee I open up my email and my iGoogle (my home page). In between answering emails, I ease in to the morning with a little information from Fast Company--either their "Big Idea" or just general happenings in the tech/business world.

I also get a fair amount of info from those I follow on Twitter--Robert Scoble, a video journalist for Fast Company(@scobleizer); MC Hammer, if you can believe it--always discussing the music/entertainment scene and emerging artists (@mchammer); Hugh McLeod, the eccentric cartoonist (@gapingvoid); Sockington, a very expressive house cat (very handsome as well) who always makes me smile (@sockington). I also follow some work pals, and some TV shows such as The Soup, The Daily Show with John Stewart and The Colbert Report.

My office is a bit anti-establishment and we like to break off from the rest of the company to express ourselves--we do so on our blog--cre8ivefuel. This is a good source of info for me, relating specifically to our little world at DraftFCB Seattle.
