Feeding the RSS monster

I think the best part of RSS feeds is the comics! The Dispatch insists on wasting good comic space on loser strips like Judge Parker and B.C., not to mention Marvin and Hagar the Horrible, when there are so many more worthwhile (and shall I mention ‘Living”) comic strip creators out there. Now I can get my fix of the good stuff on the RSS feeds. At least I can when I remember to check my feeds!

That is really the root of it all. All what? All my 2.0 issues! I have a job that has me nowhere near a computer (I do not sit down unless I’m jacketing books!) and a home computer that is from the same era as Family Circus. I don’t have much in the way of portable electronics (an insulin pump and a cell phone-a very old cell phone), so I am not in the habit of popping into the online world on a regular basis! When I do crawl in under the door I might have 20 minutes to spend, and it’s hard to budget that time amongst e-mail, RSS, blogging, Twittering, and let us not forget shopping! This is all assuming I can even remember the passwords to any of the above!

Lest I sound like a pathetic whiner (which I do) consider that I am in the background of the online technocrowd cheering y’all on! See me? I’m there way in the background waving with one hand and holding tight to my rotary phone with the other, chanting “GO GO, Two Point OH!” Really. That’s me.
