I never found the RSS reader in Safari very useful. I prefer to read news sites like Slashdot on the site - and I don't really want to be checking Safari all the time for new articles - which come through fairly regularly. Since Leopard though, you can stick RSS feeds in Mail as well, which I find really useful for the various blogs I read.

Thinking about it I actually read a fairly odd selection of blogs, so I thought I'd list them here (in no particular order).

Bruce Scheiner's personal weblog. He's a security expert who (literally) wrote the book on cryptography. I think he's got a very good way of looking at security in general, not just computer related, and every Friday there's a post about squids. I found out about Bruce Schneier from the Solitaire algorithm that featured in Cryptonomicon.

The world's toughest programmer, Mike Lee. This guy used to work at Delicious Monster, he also set up the Lemur charity stuff and just generally writes interesting posts, a lot of which have nothing to do with programming or Lemurs.

Scamp is the blog of a creative director at BBH. Bruce put me on to this one, maybe this is just proof that he's right and I'm going to end up in advertising one day after all.

And of course, the world famous Mike Tyson. Mike's a mate from Monash who's still there doing his PhD. He's white, skinny, blonde and a pacifist - eg. not the boxer, but still gets plenty of posts for the other Tyson.
