I am really happy with the improved version of Google Reader. It helps me solve the blog-o-spherical problem of how to not overlook updated blogs in a way that is more efficient than visiting them all every day. (Dimitra says she just goes to the blogs she wants to read and hopes they’re updated, which is a very non-geeky solution I think. Well, she doesn’t have her records in alphabetical order either.)

A nice bonus is that Google Reader has a pretty big archive, where it has stored, for example, most of the ‘lost posts’ of last year’s Think Small. So these days I am slowly putting them back into the current blog. So that, when I mention that it’s my nameday again, I can just link to this post without having to explain a lot. A little addition though is that the celebration is, apparently, called Martinmas and that said saint was the saint of the beggars. We’ll have five visitors tonight. I suppose Saint Martin would have approved of that.
