Temporarily Unavailable

Monday, June 27th, 2005

Starting Wednesday June 29 and continuing through at least July 8, the blog, gallery, and all other features of this site will be down for about 10 days while we move.

We’re going to do a roadtrip from NC, across TN, then up the Mississippi to MN.
Asheville, Nashville, St. Louis, Galena, Minneapolis.

By the way, Rand McNally has a great road trip planner feature.

Thoughts on the Blogosphere

Tuesday, June 7th, 2005

I was recently informed that my blog is boring. I’ll see what I can do to spice it up a bit. This post probably won’t help much, but it’s what is on my mind.

The following blogs/feeds are out. I find them completely unreadable.

The content is great, mind you, it’s just the volume is ridiculous. I find it completely demoralizing to see that I have, say, 833 unread items. That just makes the feed sit unread longer.

Overflowing RSS Feeds

The perfect feed should have between one post a week and one post a day. The most annoying blogs seem to have dozens of posts a day.

I know, I know - I could subscribe to only the categories of most interest. But usually the categories do not present a good taxonomy of sub-topics.

Does anyone have suggestions for low to moderate volume feeds on technology or eco-friendly news?
