Ever since merlyn gave a few chatterbox lurkers an insight into his exhausting routine of scanning 60 odd newsgroups, 30 mailing lists and a few websites every single day, I’ve been thinking more about my own morning ritual of information gathering, interactions and just general scouting around of sites that I find of interest to me and to my line of work.

Now I want to know about yours. :)

What is your morning ritual? What sites, newsgroups and mailing lists do you frequent? Is this the first thing you do when you wake up/reach the office? Do you follow the same pattern religiously? Do you use the web as a substitute for your morning paper? What happens when you can’t fulfil your morning ritual for some reason? How does this affect your day?

I was originally going to write some sort of article about all this, but that idea has since been sent to /dev/null. I'm just really curious, so.. fire away!
