Bloglines and Google Reader

I had a look at Google Reader today and added a couple of Blogs to it. I've had previous experience with Bloglines and they're similar, but I think I prefer Google Reader.

I don't really have much use for RSS feeders, as I go to the Blogs or LiveJournals I want to read when I want to read them, and don't worry about them the rest of the time :). LiveJournal works well in this way, as adding "Friends" means that you can click on that link anytime and see the most recent updates to all LJs in reverse order, as often (or not) as you want. Blogwise I prefer Blogger to LJ though.

Library Thing and Image Generators

The idea of setting up another Library Thang account (when I already have one) fills me with inertia, so I'll just blow my cover and link to the one I already have:
A Dubious Collection of Literature.




Now you know who I am, there's probably no harm in me posting the result of my "Simpsonize Me" experiment. I actually hand-drew a Simpsonised self-caricature a few years ago for something else and it looked quite different to this (though this pic is sadly accurate :)).
