Google Reader

I’ve said before that I read a lot of blogs, but Kevin reads even more. I know he doesn’t keep up on all of them, just picks out the topics he likes best (thank god for Google Reader) and skims the rest. I don’t know how he does it.
I currently have 415 posts in my [...]

The price of beauty

5. Jak whining because he wants my food.
