Google Reader Adds Shared Notes, Non-Feed Page Capture [Social Bookmarking]
via Lifehacker by Kevin Purdy on May 06, 2008
Google adds yet another social-ish function, "Notes," to its Reader feed-browsing tool. The practical use comes from a new bookmarklet that posts whatever page you're looking at to your shared Reader items, with your own notes attached. You can also post notes with no link at all to be shared with your "friends," making it a kind of Twitter clone for, well, avid feed readers. As one blogger...

Shared by David This is the law quote of the daySome day, a wise person in a position of authority will realize that a court of law is not the best forum for deciding custody and access disputes, where principles of common sense masquerade as principles of law.

Foux du fa fa
via In a Jar by La Canadienne on April 25, 2008
I have always been very prone to bouts of nostalgia. Every so often I get lost in memory, go back through bits of the brief journals I'd keep now and then, and often, cry. I'm a big sap.
