Of course there are plenty of things I do every day, but here is a representative sample:

Check ze Tweets (und alzo emails)
With (almost) everyone I know using Twitter, and (really almost) everyone I know using email, checking Twitter and email is one of the first things I do when I wake up. I use the fantastic webOS Twitter client Tweed on my Palm Pre, and the equally fantastic Echofon desktop client on my Mac.

Feed the cats
There’s never a chance of forgetting to feed the cats. Watson, in particular, will remind me every couple of minutes when I’m working at home (even though official dinner time isn’t ’til late afternoon).

Watch The Rachel Maddow Show
Technically this is a five-day-a-week thing, not an every-day thing, but I do it without fail every one of those five days. I admire her no-BS style and her refusal to drop a story until it’s fully told.
