Simply Surfing

I have been collecting a LOT of RSS feeds, from my email client, which makes it a lot easier to keep track of a few blogs. Which is all well and good, until you start adding every cool blog that you see to your folder list. Yes, you can collect a lot of links but it doesn't take long before you are several hundred, and sometime a few thousand, entries behind current. In my case, this happened when I subscribed to SlashDot, which is THE biggest news site in geek circles. I'm happy to say, however, that in the last month, I have whittled my backlog from 1836 blog posts to only 747. The only redeeming effect of all this surfing is that you find a LOT of cool stuff on the web.

Here's a bunch of links that I've found recently that made me feel good.

That's probably enough for one day. If I stop posting and go back to reading, maybe I can whittle this list down to only 700 posts.
