blogging at 60 mph

So for my work, I've been given a Verizon Wireless broadband card. Now, wherever there's cellphone service, I'm online.

Unfortunately, the #1 reason I got this - corporate VPN - doesn't seem to be working. I'll give it a few more attempts, but we may have to try another one before too long. Verizon has a 30-day trial period... and I may need it.

i finally get RSS readers

I used to not "get" RSS readers... I mean, why not just click on the page you're interested in. That is, until Google Reader.

The thing that made it all make sense is the "Mark as Read" button. Now, instead of going to each blog in succession, looking to see what's new, I just look for unread stories in the left column of links. Saves time and effort. Love it.
