RSS Feeds

Well I finally set up a Bloglines account to manage some feeds. I've been using feeds for several years now and they are a great way to stay on top of the things you enjoy reading about. I had previously been using Google's built in feed reading at my Google home page but I'm liking Bloglines so far. With the one click shortcut in Firefox it is as easy as ever to add a feed. Here's a quick run down of the subscriptions I have so far outside of the required Library 2.0 one.

Bungie.net Top Stories
-Yes I love this game studio so much I feel that I MUST check their site once a day to see what the latest developments are on the games I love and the games that have not yet been released.

Latest Games (from Bungie.net)
-Another feed from Bungie, but this one sends me a feed for each match I play online in Halo3 and what my stats were for that game. Basically it tells me how much I pwn noobs. I R teh l33t haxorz.... or something.

Newegg Daily Deals
-Like it says, the daily deals on computer hardware and other computer related items. I love me some newegg.

The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks
-This is simply for comedic relief. The best way to descibe this blog is to provide an example. Basically, people send in photos in which there are completely unnecessary quotation marks used, often on signs at stores and restaurants. The funny part is found in the caption provided by the Blog's author. Enjoy...



Nick writes, "These L.L. Bean pants stretch for a 'perfect fit.' Or feel like pantyhose digging into your belly. Whatever." This may or may not be the words of experience.


The remainder of my current feeds are the blogs of some of my personal friends from their myspace pages which are probably only entertaining to those that know them.
