levity.. _and_ no brevity w/random tidbits.

Hmm.. sometimes I get a little concerned that my constant obsession with ephemera and the wackier side of pop culture is a little unhealthy. But then I figure - it's only a spare-time thing, and I've got this far (lack of crushing debt, attractive website in the suburbs, adorably re-addicted to 'The Sims' on PS2 wife), so.. y'know, it can't be ALL bad. But I do resolve to think a little harder about more serious issues and goals (doing great at grad school, becoming a software archiving and/or public library maven), and... maybe even post about them. In the meantime: been trying out RSS aggregation to get all my favorite sites or blogs in one big, easily-checkable chunk. Windows users should check out Syndirella, which is freeware and seems to do the job pretty good, after an annoying 20mb download from M$. Also, if you like The Smoking Gun as much as I do, I recommend reading this excellent article on them from the now sadly defunct Shift magazine.
