Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Come on, people. It’s 2006. If you’re not using a feed reader/news aggregator, then (like Bloglines or Google Reader) you’re about 3 years late, and you’re wasting a lot of your time. I try not to be such a die hard about this stuff, but when pressed, I have to admit that I feel sorry for people who haven’t incorporated this lovely time-saving bit of technology into their daily life. Even if you’re a person who only checks a few news sites and friends’ blogs a day, you will will appreciate the efficiency this little bit of technology offers. I shared with you the other day an offering which showed you how a feed reader works. If you didn’t try it then, try it now. Click around.

Now imagine if the links there were all your favorite sites. Cool, huh?

I won’t go on, but if you’re not using a feed reader, please check out Back in Skinny Jeans’ easy-to-follow description of the beauty of RSS readers. I promise you, it’s worth your time.

Can you tell that working for free has completely killed my motivation cuz LOOK AT THIS! MAN, it’s freakin’ cool!

I know I’m always creating these little things that noone uses (the Odeo leave-a-message thingy and the Meebo Talk to Me thing, for example), but this one is COOL, and I can’t help myself. If you click on the button over on the right in the sidebar, you can see a bunch of links I wanted to share with you. Go ahead… Someone… try it! Here’s the basic idea:

Well rats! I must have deleted the bottom half of my sidebar recently when I was messing around with that Flickr widget, because it’s GONE! There’s probably a relatively recent backup somewhere on my server/desktop computer, but I can’t access that right now. Why do tech problems come in clumps like this? Hmmm… wonder if my hosting company keeps a backup of stuff. Any ideas people? 🙁
