blogworthy

Yo!
ok this is not really blogworthy cos its short, but im going to write it anyway.
It's one song. on a DJ shadow album called The Private Press. the song is Giving up The Ghost. It's travelling, it's haunting and mesmerising (favourite word of the moment), im not trying to make a point or be really poignant. i just dont want to forget. If i put it somewhere, file it somewhere, it'll probly get lost. but not here.

im really enjoying stuff right now. two great discoveries in particular. (bit late to the party but late's better than never). Google Reader. I've finally decided to pull my finger out and sort out my RSS feeds. It's so cool. I've tried some readers before, and they're just too.... cluttered. Google reader does just enough, in the right places. There's a whole heap of keyboard shortcuts too, but im no pro.

but the shit's cool. everything i want to read is right there. I feel strangely on top of my knowledge. you know, like its accessible. and it's not just general reading, but stuff for work, keeping up with technology blah blah.

my favourite site award is kind of torn between two. I guess since i found one thru the other, then the award has to go to LifeHacker. Time for an admission - i've always wanted to be a cyborg. Always dreamed (manga-like) of having augmentations (no not that kind u dirty so-and-sos), you know, like super vision, and jet packs and stuff. LifeHacker ran with an article recently on how to improve your night vision.. and i was hooked. All kinds of random cool stuff on how to....hack your life. Cool. totally way cool. like Jesus.

The other is Instructable. This is getting to the geeky end of things. Found it via Lifehacker. It just has instructions on how to build stuff on the cheap. I originally got on to mod some of my flashes. Lots of boys toys, but lots of home handy stuff, and girl-oriented stuff too. Something for everybody. Look out friends all your birthday presents are going to be handmade from now on!!

So that's all i got to say for now.

hugs
