Google Reader Recommends …

Saturday, December 1, 2007

Today is the first day in months I haven’t looked at Google Reader. I weaved in and out of some academic data mining as I played Driveway Hockey, enjoyed some family time, and watched an “old” movie.

    Dude, congrats on making it this far, it’s pretty impressive! I thought about joining up on the daily Nov blog posting thing and kinda regret not making the effort to blow the dust off of my site, although it was also the first month at a new startup and I’m exhausted just from that. Excuses excuses!
