Here’s what I’ve been reading lately. The Crimea story is easily the most important one in terms of knowing some stuff about what’s going on in the world, but it’s all worth a look.

The fellow who put together that Crimea reading list (at the bottom of the list below) is Om Malik, founder of GigaOm and a great writer in his own right.

A daily post of links I read that day feels too spammy now that I’ve done it a few times. I’ll make it a weekly thing where I highlight the best of what I read that week.

My favorites among today’s reads are the Hari Kondabolu piece, which is actually a video of few minutes of his hilarious standup, and the Tim Cook article, which I posted about earlier.

• Going Paperless: Automating Repetitive Stuff about Meetings
• Hari Kondabolu Explains How Weezer Broke His Heart
• Jimi Hendrix: Purple Haze Behind the Scenes
• Facebook friend of the court: The complicated relationship between social media and the courts
• Help! I Cracked My iPhone (Or Another Smartphone)

I’m a huge fan of apps and services like Instapaper and Pocket, which allow you to save web pages, articles and even videos for later. Whether I’m in line at a coffee shop or sitting in a waiting room, I often turn to tools like Twitter and Feedly to see what’s worth reading on any given day. The combination of all of those apps leaves me with far more content than I can read in a day, but I’m going to start sharing what I get to in a daily post over here.

This will serve two purposes. First, it will give you a sense of what I look at every day. Second, it will give me a convenient way to look for patterns in what I’m actually choosing to read versus the much larger bucket of things I’m saving. In other words, some of the stuff I save I will never, ever read. And maybe I’m repetitive or restricting myself to an echo-chamber of similar perspectives. This exercise will help me look for those things and then change them.

Most will be far shorter than this one, but in the spirit of getting off to a good start, here’s a list from the last couple of days:
