Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová on Leno Tonight

By Abby at 7:10 pm on Monday, July 30, 2007

The two leads of the movie “Once”, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová (aka The Swell Season), will be on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno this very night! Yay! If you didn’t listen to their NPR performance the other night, the stream is still available. The photograph I’ve used above is from that performance and was taken by Joel Didrickson.

Mass Feed Filtering

By Abby at 8:03 am on Monday, July 30, 2007

Should I even admit how similar my feed-reading is to this guy’s? There are some differences though. When my Google Reader number gets up to 150+, that’s when I reassess and try to pare it back down to around 100 or less. Also, rather than tech, the content of my feeds is photographs, photography, food, friends’ blogs, social networking feeds, productivity (I know, I know!!), and food. Anyone who’s ever seen me go through my feeds can attest to my rapid filtering speed. What do I do with the links I actually am interested in processing? I Ctrl-click them open, then I either comment, filter them to my friends who I know will be interested, blog them, Twitter/Pownce them, or otherwise get them to the places they “belong”. When I’m being productive, I only check them every several hours. When I’m NOT being productive, it’s MUCH more often. That’s more problematic. I used to read much more high traffic sites like Digg, Boing Boing, and Best Week Ever, but now the only high traffic site I really check is Lifehacker (although I do see some Digg sites because the top stories are on my Personal Google, which I use as my home page.
