I use RSS to follow my frequently used sites. My startup related stuff is design-y, but my top 5 recommendations are:
http://sidebar.io/ - most frequent, always bump into something new
http://worrydream.com/ - of course
http://littlebigdetails.com/ - collecting little patterns into my brain
http://theindustry.cc/ - see the reviews, probably the best site for app reviews that I've seen. allows me to know what's new.
http://penny-arcade.com/patv/show/extra-credits - look forward to this every single week
I'd include http://www.paulgraham.com, but you probably already follow that

It may not be unique, but it does show how teenager have grown up with social networking.
Jared Erondu had an opposite viewpoint on revealing age[1] where he couldn't talk about his age (18) because of the discrimination that followed.

Lots of thoughts. It looks nice and simple. Too simple. I think it actually looks much sharper and more modern than iOS does these days. Hopefully the design influence runs both ways.
Also, I know everyone has their own opinion, but yikes, this looks just bad to me (from the article): http://theindustry.cc/assets/2012/11/mini.png (edit, maybe it's my high res monitor but that font is painful to look at)

Sounds like rather remarkable story, and might have read it all, had the annoyingly small font size, not been forced on Chrome and Safari users.
Grandpa's eyes at age 33, can't read your blog comfortably, as a result. :p
-webkit-text-size-adjust [1][2], is just NOT cool
