  • Google Reader

    Time for some housekeeping. First of all, Google Reader feeds:

    T-Rex is Lonely – spinoff of Dinosaur Comics and Garfield Minus Garfield
    Calvin & Hobbes – Bill Waterson’s genius, delivered daily 🙂
    Soul Shelter – Great blog about connecting with others in the modern, technological world. Required reading: In Defense of Solitude (Part 1, Part 2)

    The most significant changes have not been in new feeds, but rather in a trimming of my high volume feeds. This has freed up an insane amount of time, which I’ve put towards real reading (7 books in the past 6 weeks).

    First Read – Super good for inside politics, but since the elections, I don’t feel there’s quite as much to do. We worked to hire the legislators, now it’s their turn to do their job.
    Five Thirty Eight – amazing analysis by Nate Silver, but it’s become too dense for interest without the horserace.

    GOOD transparency – despite the excellent infographs, I wasn’t reading this as much as I should have.
    Yahoo! News Top Stories – too much noise and time, even without reading them. The world goes on without breaking news.
    LifeHacker – LifeHacker was insanely interesting, and I read nearly everything, but I feel I’ve got my productivity system down now.

    The Master Subscription List has been updated.
