One of the questions I often get (as well as anyone in the 'trends'/'curation'/inspiration scene) is typically expressed as: "where do you find your stuff??"
 
Now and Next has put together a list of Best Sources For Trends And Futures Thinking. Below, I've attached an export of my RSS's .opml (not optimally organized, for the record). 
 
These are great and likely helpful. I'll add one comment: I always tell people that if I were to give them a list of my feeds, it probably wouldn't deliver the same value that they might hope for. That is to say, if Tina of SwissMiss gave me a list of her feeds and bookmarks, it wouldn't transform me into SwissMiss, and I wouldn't be able to instantly recreate swiss-miss.com
 
Her value, and the value of any 'curator,' is the sum total of a lifetime of cultivating interesting experiences. 
 
This might even have something to do with the idea behind "how to break anything."
