No...I try not to over-engineer something that isn't work related.

What would be the benefits of that, and how do I do that? #1 question: is there a good FREE one?

Please, my friend, allow me to revolutionize your life.

RSS is a great way to keep up with websites that update regularly. Google Reader is probably the best of the lot. Of course it's free.

Wherever you see "RSS" on a website, you can copy the link address and paste it into the subscription box in Google Reader. Then, Reader will show you everything new on that site. Sometimes you don't even have to leave Reader.

You don't have to visit Achewood every day; you just have to visit it when it's actually updated. Reader will know instantly.

I use it for a lot of things. For example, on craigslist, you can set up an RSS feed for a search term. So if you're searching the cars+trucks section for "1997 Frontier", every time you open Reader it will bold that item and show you all the 1997 Frontiers for sale. (I am not actually searching for a 1997 Frontier. That was just an example.)

I'm not selling you my 1997 Frontier. As classicman stated, which I now can't find because he stuck it in some unrelated thread somewhere which is lost to the sands of time, do procrastinators really want more efficient web surfing?

Now, I can see having one of these for my phone, to eliminate some clicks getting to the sites I check on my phone. Do they do these for phones?

And, again, my 1997 Frontier is NOT FOR SALE.

Awwww! #675 could have been Diz and me, if'n I'd had someone else to take a photo!
You'd think a cat that wants to accompany me whenever I leave the house (remember back in the day he used to come to work with me) would relish a harness and lead...? Nope. Because it was, well, a harness and lead after all.

This could also be Diz - if'n it was chicken.

Yes, Google Reader has a mobile-based view of it all

...i know it's not for sale, but tell me, does it have the 4x4?

Stop coveting my 1997 Frontier. You know, it is a sin to covet. A pretty bad one, I think.

Hey it's just an innocent question! I want to talk about you, you know, what your interests are, what kind of factory bedliner you like, stuff like that.
