I’ve been finding a few examples <a href="http://patrickrhone.com/2010/02/15/my-rss-system/">here</a> and there of how people have set up theirs and decided to work on my own. Here’s what I’ve got now:</p> <ul> <li>A-List - good writers on any topic that I do not want to miss</li> <li>Friends in Real Life™</li> <li>Local - anything specifically related to Dallas and Texas</li> <li>Cycling </li> <li>Music</li> <li>Travel</li> <li>Entertaining - blogs like FAIL or Treehugger that I enjoy reading for fun</li> <li>Tech - sites such as Gizmodo or Engadget</li> <li>Entertaining++</li> <li>Tech++</li> </ul> <p>The two at the bottom with ++ after them are the blogs that post excessively. If I see 1000+ items in there, I don’t feel bad about going bankrupt on those folders.</p> <p>How do you organize your feeds?</p>http://eliot.landrum.cx/post/409335331http://eliot.landrum.cx/post/409335331Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:23:00 -0600<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="300" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6505158&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6505158&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /><embed src="http://www.vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6505158&server=www.vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="400" height="300"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/6505158">Der Mensch als Industriepalast [Man as Industrial Palace] on Vimeo</a> (via <a href="http://flowingdata.com/2010/02/24/man-as-industrial-palace-animated/">flowingdata</a>)</p>http://eliot.landrum.cx/post/409296243http://eliot.landrum.cx/post/409296243Wed, 24 Feb 2010 10:52:14 -0600<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/h-8PBx7isoM&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/h-8PBx7isoM&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-8PBx7isoM&feature=player_embedded">Embrace Life</a></p> <p>(via <a href="http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2177-wonderfully-conceptualized-beautifully-executed">37s</a>)</p>http://eliot.landrum.cx/post/407019906http://eliot.landrum.cx/post/407019906Tue, 23 Feb 2010 08:10:11 -0600<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kxw1uekWqG1qz6i1po1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://xkcd.com/702/">Backyard Snow Tracking Guide</a> -
