Aggregated: Del.icio.us BlogRodent Stuff
This is my on-site feed for the latest 50 entries in my Del.icio.us folder. Like all lazy bloggers everywhere I’m constantly running across stuff I think is interesting, but not truly worthy of a blog post. And I don’t necessarily want to clutter up my bookmarks with this ephemera, either. But it’s nice to know it’s logged somewhere, and that’s where the mighty Del.icio.us comes in. If you find anything interesting here, rejoice and be glad!

Thanks, Richard, for stopping by. There was a little more discusson on the post where this link first occured, here. I haven’t seen the documentary yet, but I’ll be looking for it at my local video rental store if it gets there via DVD. I’m sure it’ll fare better than my review of Grady and Ewing’s documentary!
Regards,
Rich
