my feet on the dash

Share & Share Alike

I've become thoroughly addicted to the insanely useful Google Reader. It's one stop browsing through all of the blogs/feeds that I want to check out daily. It's upped my perusing 100 fold, at least. It's so flipping easy to use. Eep - I sound like an advertisement. Sigh.

Anyway, I've added a side-bar element (on the left) here on the blog that lets you see the posts that I "star", or, think are awesome. I thought I'd share.

The direct link to my particular "share feed" is here:  http://www.google.com/reader/shared/06279673759061773910?hl=en

Enjoy!

PS> A tip: If you subscribe to your own blog, you can view how many other people are subscribed too. Use the 'show details' link in the upper(ish) right! :)

New site stuff!

If it's not super-apparent, I changed a few things around these parts today.
I wanted to add a selection from my obscenely large bookmark collection, so now you have the pull-down menus to the right. They should give you a new window to view the link in each time.

Art I Love: self-explanatory... my favourite artists (that I've located thus far)
Pals: online and in real life
Places I Go: a variety of my favourite sites in general; stuff I find interesting
Music: sites to buy and listen to fantastic music; reference sites too
Genealogy: a selection of what I think are the most useful general genealogy sites on the web
IndieShop: shops I love, support, and plain think are worth seeing
You'll Find It: total miscellany; fun and funny sites; curiosities; DYI; kitties; you name it

Also, I popped in a Last.FM "quilt" there to the left that displays my top albums.
I hope the animation isn't annoying. Lemme know if it drives you crazy.

Lastly, I've posted a link under "Stalking Material" to my genealogy website. It's totally not complete or as media-rich as it will be, but, it's time to add it. I've found more distant cousins on the web than you can imagine, so, never say something isn't worth the time. :)

By the way, clicking on the genealogy link will probably reveal that I have some OCD going on. Just a warning ;)

Enjoy!

I omitted the top placeholder "network" because I'm not sure what that means. It could be me, for all I know ;)

It'd be kinda interesting to see how that changes month after month...
Maybe...
