Tech Update:

• Google Reader is now handling my ravenous RSS needs: Newsgator just proved too slow. Make sure and check out the snappy keyboard shortcuts.
• I'm finding Amazon wish lists quite useful. It's a more streamlined way of keeping track of things than putting them in your "later" cart. And it goes a long way towards soothing that ungodly "I have to buy it right now" feeling.
• I finally got my other email account routed into Gmail. Well worth the 3 minutes.
  

The cost of kids: I'm not sure whether to be disgusted or depressed. Surely makes one appreciate the priceless heritage of sanity. (HT: Instapundit)

Verily, verily, Caedmon's is recording! Andrew Osenga has the wrap on the week, and the band has a new little splash site dedicated to the project.

I am actually listening to these songs we recorded. I haven’t done that since share the well,and before that long line of leavers. that was me, Cliff/the boring guy in the hat that can’t write songs or think very good.
