I went away last week for a few days. While we were gone, I had limited access to the internet. Well, I had plenty of access, just a limited amount of time my wife would let me sneak away with the laptop :) In that time, though, I didn't keep up with blogs, just a few odds and ends of daily digital life. So after a long drive Tuesday, I decided it was time to check the blogs. The little number in netnewswire showed over 2000 new posts. uhm..

Now maybe its summer, but my overall interest in blogging has gone down a bit. A few months ago it would have taken me hours, possibly a couple days to get caught up on that many posts. That day it took all of about 30 minutes. There were probably some good posts in there, but I just didn't have the patience to sift through it. This has been a common occurrence lately too. Maybe it's the amount of redundancy, maybe it's the sun, maybe I'm sick of staying up to date. Maybe a little from column A, column B, and column C.

In any case, this weekend I cleaned up my blog subscriptions. A lot. I probably dropped about half of my feeds, and feel just oh so clean. Today after a whole day of reading about Cocoa, I clicked to updated my subscriptions. 40 new items. Ah, much better...
