“Senior Citizen” at 40?

dumpendebat — Thu, 12 May 2011 19:35:37 +0000

Readers, I just came home from the grocery store, and my receipt says (if I’m reading it correctly) that the cashier gave me a “senior citizen” discount. That saved me $3.67, which is OK, but the thing is, I’m only 40 years old.

Time to think about “Just For Men?”

Back from travels

I’m back, readers, from 25 days of traveling in Ethiopia.

Feed-aggregator recommendations?

Readers, I’ve about had it with Bloglines, a site that seems to be experiencing scalability issues. Half the feeds I subscribe to are broken these days.

Who knows about a good, reliable web-based RSS/Atom feed aggregator (other than Bloglines)? It has to be web-based (i.e. not an application that runs on my computer, not a browser plug-in), so that I have access to my feeds wherever I happen to be. If you have recommendations, please let me know. Thanks!
