Catching up with technology a bit
Category: Ponderings Thursday, June 7, 2007 at 11:26 amSo I am now an official Google reader user. Now I can have tons of information fed to my reader daily for my viewing pleasure. I know this is the way lots of young (under 30ish) people get their information these days, as opposed to the traditional news sources, but I still don’t see the need to know quite so much and, additionally, my brain, while great at multi-tasking, still hasn’t got used to the multi-stream, information everywhere look of many websites and TV channels like MSNBC. For example, I hardly every click on links people insert into their blog posts - way too confusing for me to interupt reading mid-post to check something out or to remember or care to go back and click on it at the end of reading. However, in order to be ironic, and since most of you can handle the linked content better than I, a few links for you (discovered using my new reader):
Neat new animals discovered in the Amazon
Interesting images of “What the World eats” comparing the diets of families around the World. What I found most striking, thanks to large multi-national food packaging companies, was the similarity in a majority of the diets. Check out the candy and soda products in many of the images.
Also, on an unrelated note, I just changed a load of laundry from washer to dryer and realized that the washing machine and dryer doors open in opposite directions. Sort of funny for a stackable unit I would think. Is it bad that this is my 3rd or 4th load with the new appliances and I just noticed this?
