One of the things I don’t like so much about traveling is that I am way out of my normal patterns. Sure, the change of pace and piece and quiet is nice, but things that I normally do simply don’t get done. This week, one of those things involves my RSS reader. I have had…

If you’re into that sort of things, Happy Valentines Day! Given that I am currently several hundred miles away from my wife–seems to have happened more often than not in the past 8 years–we decided this year that it wasn’t worth spending any energy on this time around.
