Cleaning up!

I've decided that I like Google Reader better than Bloglines so I just went through and opened up all my Bloglines feeds and decided what to move over to my Reader account and what to just delete. Do I really need Dilbert? No, I didn't think so. I don't need LOL Cats either as cute as it is.
I also read Disabled Kitty's post about Delicious. I have been really bad about putting my bookmarks into Delicious. I have many, many bookmarks on my work computer, and I very rarely take the time to put them into Delicious. The day will come when I will be out with my laptop and I will be cursing myself for this.
My newest goal is to try to figure out how to read things offline, and compose responses and blog posts offline too. I don't think this is going to be easy, but it's a goal. I don't sleep well at night, so maybe I could do a little reading at 2am. That could be nice. A netbook is still on my xmas list as well. :-)

Another thing I did this week was start filtering my Facebook settings so I don't get all the Mafia Wars stuff that my friends post, and other applications too. I enjoy playing games on my lunch break, but I can do without the notifications and status updates from my friends and the applications.

more with Google Reader

Well I just wanted to say I just discovered Bundles. I can subscribe to whole bunches of things like "library" and "writing" with the Google Reader and Bundles. I suspect this might lead to subscribing to more than I can handle, but wow... how convenient. I know I can unsubscribe later if it's too overwhelming. I like it though. You don't always know what is out there, or where to find it, and this helps a great deal.

I also notice that the Google Reader has a way to follow people. I suspect this is similar to Twitter, and I haven't checked it out yet. I think Google really does try to do everything possible to be one-stop shopping, and I appreciate that. It does mean that the Google folks know a lot about me, what I like, etc, but logging in once, with one user name and one password is so much easier than having everything scattered around in different places. I wonder if Google does podcasts... hmm?

off to discover more.
