RSS (or, have you updated your blog recently?)

Reading - is it going by the way side, or is it taking another form?

I am a voracious reader - but one with too little time, or at least quiet time, to do in-depth, thought indulging reading.

Instead, I have resorted to indulging my reading needs by grabbing a bit here, a newspaper there, a magazine over there.

Then, there are times when I'm waiting -- like right now, for my tea to steep -- and I grab a byte by looking up all the RSS bookmarks I've accumulated. Hmmm... I wonder who has updated their blog since last I looked? Or, if no one has updated recently, I look at the BBC News or BBC Science and Technology to see if there are any articles I'm interested in. RSS is great - I don't have to go the web site unless there is something there that interests me, so less time is spent in front of the computer ...waiting... for those pages to load.

This makes me a happy camper.

Funny how one integrates things into their life without even being aware of it until it has become a habit...
