Ok, it may have something to do with the fact that its 3pm on a Saturday and I’m working on a 29 degree day (although I see clouds now, so that's making me feel better), or I have been so ‘questioned-out’ on the RA desk that I don’t know what to look for in finding a feed that actually interests me. I mean, I can't say I’m interested in Britney’s problems, or why a would-be-robber got stuck in an airshaft, karma I say, but really, care-factor?
So here are my thoughts on finding feeds:
Feedster: Kermit the frog anyone? WOW, after being blinded by fluoro green, it wasn’t too bad. Just had to narrow the search terms well, because really I’m not going to look through more than 15 results let alone 11,503.
Topix.net: In my current state – probably the most useful because of its directory. I quite liked this. It showed me just how many topics are available in blog and feed land. Still heaps to choose from though. And quite frankly, any directory listing Brendan Fraser has got to be good :)
Google Blog Search: - easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy :)
Technorati: What the? Even in my dislike for this one, I will come back and try to make friends it.

#7 Spiel about anything technology related
Being an avid traveller who loves to sing and groove to an array of tunes and be organised (my accountant loves me for it) I would definitely have to say I love the gadgets below for the following reasons:
Laptop with wireless connection: is my personal organiser; juke box – as it is the central intelligence agency hub for my iTunes! ; it is also a paper-saver; portable DVD player (list goes on as it fades into the distance ;)
iPod: keeper of all my music and photos with stupendously massive 80GB memory. I think my laptop is secretly jealous.
Digital camera: is an essential gadget to capture all the ridiculous moments when camping with friends and family (and there are many of them) and the gorgeous sites and natural wonders this beautiful earth has to offer
Rechargeable batteries: goes without saying – my digital camera gets a lot of use as do the batteries!
Excel – I can’t say how many things I use excel for at home. I love excel – my reading list is sort-able (I think I just made a new word) a brilliant number of ways – dorky I know, but helps on the RA desk when I recommend books, not to mention it tells me what I have read and still want to read.
Mobile Phone: My personal organiser, alarm clock…and oh yeah – phone!
Wireless iPod car transmitter: I can’t praise this one enough! There is so much more room in my glove box now that it doesn’t hold CDs! One little gadget that hooks up to the cigarette lighter and I have access to I don’t even know how many music albums! Yeah baby!
Mary Poppins may have had an entire household in her bag, but other than lip balm, keys, wallet and my gadgets, that’s about it!
