RSS feeds

For me, the news feeds will probably be the best part of this exercise. I am something of a world news junkie, and also enjoy science news, just in case the San Andreas stretches the Basin & Range a bit. Refdesk.com is also a great website for updating news, but this button may be more personalized for me. Another blog participant and I are frequently trading news about police activities in our neighborhood. This definitely needs to be hot-breaking news/gossip sharing as it is becoming a bit unnerving for us. No place on earth is "quiet" these days, which is part of the allure of cell phones and all their spin-offs for instant communication. With no control over events, we can at least share our presence and news.
