I can’t figure out which RSS feed aggregator I like best, and am currently using three in tandem. I know I don’t like the email client-based readers, so that leaves web-based interfaces. The three in the running are Kinja, Bloglines, and Google Reader. Kinja is sweet, simple, and easy to use. I like the layout. […]

In which you learn more than you want to know. In my household, the trimming is done by my husband. Mostly because he can get a better angle at it, and therefore does a better job than I can myself. But also because he’s male and he seems to enjoy it. The thing is though […]

I finally bought myself a birthday present ~ a shiny new 5th gen iPod. It’s got five times the storage capacity my mini has, it’s got a color screen, and it should be here within the week. I’m very, very, very excited. Not only because it’s shiny, new, and color, but because I am so […]

In which it takes me an entire day to get nothing accomplished. I slept way the hell in today. I’m so bad. I wonder if I’ll ever outgrow that feeling of dread and shame drilled into me as a college student that I still have whenever I sleep in? Gack. Brett and I went to […]

(When I say “everyone,” I mean the six other vehicles I saw between […]

I’ve been having problems adding an edit_post_link to this installation of WordPress. I went and started a thread at the support forum, and got what I thought was good help… …until today, when I discovered that the link in question does show up if I use Internet Exploder. What I don’t know is if this […]

If I had XM, I’d switch to Sirius for this reason alone: In early September, Sirius Satellite Radio kicked The Word Network off the air — for good. In the meantime, Sirius is adding programming that insults the values of The Word Network and our millions of listeners. – from Save The Word Network. I’m […]

If you’re ever interested in joining the Science Fiction Book Club – the only book club I’ve ever belonged to that sends me selections I actually read – please let me know, because if you join through me I get a free book. Seriously. And free books are so good. Especially with summer ending and […]

More cute Google goodness: Google Reader. It’s in beta, of course.
