What Am I Reading?

If you ask nice enough, Google Reader will tell you. I have recently started using Google's web services, such as their Calendar, Gmail and Blogger applications. But, the one I want to write about today is Google Reader.

Google Reader is a news aggregator that lets you aggregate all your content in one place. It keeps track of what you have and haven't read, allows you to categorize your news sources so you can select whether or not you want to read your friend's blogs, current events, what's happing in the world of gadgetry or a mishmash of all of the above. When you find an article you like, you can tag it so you can come back to it at a later date. When you find an article you really like, you can share it.

So, this blog entry today is to announce that on the right side of this page, there is a section called "What Am I Reading?" It's all the articles I saw fit to share today.

Huh. That's WAY too organized for me. In fact, I think I threw up in my mouth just a little.

John Brainard said...

Sorry. That's disgusting. I hope you feel better soon.

Annie said...

With that kind of organization looming...doubtful.

John Brainard said...

I'm not organized, unfortunately. You should see my desk and garage. Those places might cause you to throw up in your mouth a little.

Annie said...

Doubtful.
Someday when I think the Internet has the stomach for it, I'll blog about my sock drawer and how my organizational skills pale in comparison to IndianaCowboy's. Coming from his background of being a once administrative assistant to a general, I think my lack of skilz made HIM throw up in his mouth a little. But you know what they say about opposites attracting...:D

I know exactly what you mean... You should see Mrs. Dorky Musician standing next to me. You need a special camera to get a picture that includes both of us.

She's 4'9", I'm 6'2". You might say we're rather opposite of each other!

Oh... if the internet somehow develops a stomach for your sock drawer, please don't assume that I have! I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

Annie said...

Oh that's just ASKING for it!

John Brainard said...

Asking for what?

Annie said...

I have officially photographically documented both sock drawers with NO tampering.

John Brainard said...

How many cameras did you go through to complete the task?

Annie said...

Well...technically ONE camera...but TWO tries (dead batteries).
The pics turned out very true to form. :D

Very interesting!
