Monday morning

Hey--I actually went to check my feeds and found an article of enough interest to include a link off my blog (see the link to an article about Encyclopedia of Life). Perhaps I'll adjust my attitude toward this activity a notch toward the more positive side.

Thing 3

I've watched the rss presentation, set up a bloglines account and added several sites to my bloglines reader. A cursory look at what these feeds have to offer confirms my suspicions that I will not be spending too much time monitoring them. I think I'm sounding too curmudgeonly, but truly--I don't see this as a time-saving activity. Maybe I need to choose my feeds more carefully, but I'm not seeing anything of value yet.
You know, I'm always looking at the clock and in a hurry to move through my participation in the 23 things, because I can rarely find time to check in and keep it going. Since the very nature of such an exploration is that the more time spent noodling around, the more value received, I'm feeling frustrated. I am continuing on, though, because I guess I see even minimal participation is providing some value. Sigh. I want to be reading.
