Lighting Up

By Josh | Published: November 22, 2008

I sort of “went dark” this week. I was in Los Angeles for a few exhibits we worked on for the LA Auto Show. We flew out Monday and returned Friday. At some point on Tuesday, I was definitely caught up in NetNewsWire for iPhone. By Friday morning it had been at least a couple of days.

Today, I started with over 3,700 items to read.

Here are my options on how to deal with this:

  1. Spend an unspecified number of days doing nothing but reading “news”. 1
  2. RSS Bankruptcy. While we’ve all heard of the email variety, I figured someone, somewhere had already filed under Chapter RSS — I was right.
  3. Unsubscribed from a lot of feeds, combined with #1 or #2.

You could certainly argue that gathering that many items in a few days clearly indicates #3 be applied immediately,2 I’m starting out with #1 interleaved with the rest of my life because its the least destructive. More to come.

  1. Some of it certainly qualifies as news. A lot of it doesn’t. ↩

  2. …and I’d be somewhat inclined to agree ↩
