If you have no idea what I&#8217;m talking about then you&#8217;re for the better, but in case you weren&#8217;t so lucky, I apologize for the confusion.</p>
<p>Ok, but nobody want&#8217;s to hear about my screw ups&#8230;so let&#8217;s get to the good stuff:</p>
<p>We all have limited time, and most of us have <i>some</i> difficulty keeping up with the overwhelming amount of information out there on the web.  It&#8217;s like trying to drink water from a fire hydrant &#8211; not easy.  Most of the information is useless, some helpful, and only a sliver is actually worthwhile.</p>
<p>Well, I happen to spend a fair amount of time sifting through my 150ish blogs or so in my Google Reader and thought you all might like to see what I think is considered &#8216;worthwhile&#8217;.  I call them my Starred Posts.</p>
<p>I only &#8216;Star&#8217; the posts that I consider to be truly excellent.  I would say it&#8217;s a 1/250 ratio or so.  Out of 250 blog posts I read, 1 is worthwhile.  Now, this isn&#8217;t to say that 249 of the 250 posts are useless, but this helps me manage the impossible.</p>
<p>I was trying to integrate an <a href="http://www.davidlano.com/blog/what-is-rss">RSS</a> feed into this blog in a somewhat intuitive way, but failed miserably.  So, unless someone has some brilliant idea of how to custom configure Google Reader&#8217;s starred items feed into an HTML page including title links and details, I&#8217;ll stick with the default starred items public page.</p>
<p>Basically, if you want to see what I think is a must read, take a look at my <a href="http://www.google.com/reader/shared/user/14087175221950042607/state/com.google/starred">starred posts page</a>.
