At least, if you like mixing math, programming and humor. Scroll through the last dozen or so and see if you don’t like it.

And not to speak for all of the geezers out there, but I have ZERO real estate blog subscriptions. And no plans to start anytime soon.

But darned if that AARP blog doesn’t have some great bed & breakfast ideas………….. ;-)

For whatever it’s worth to all y’all over the age over forty, my age-related terror is that I will become so accustomed to and entrenched in my interests that I’ll watch my currently-diverse RSS portfolio shrink and narrow until I just blabber about real estate and shrug off the rest.

Hope I’m still interested in lots of stuff like all y’all geezers. I’m sure it’s paying your students dividends.

Education – 14
Friends’ blogs – 6
Humor & entertainment – 5
News – 4

Like Mindy above, right now I’m at a just-purged-the-RSS-reader phase of life, so my “mere” 29 subscriptions is fairly minimal.

By the way, I don’t think we’ve mentioned podcast subscriptions (which also come via RSS)…? My iTunes has a whole other podcast list.

Education 6
Science 2
News 2
Humor 1
Friends 3
Students 12
X students 4

I recived a link from one of my former students to his blogg and on his blogg was links to alot of my present students.

Now this question. Is it wrong of me to read my students blogg without telling them?

It is a great feedback on my social inpact, when there is room to push them harder and when I need to back off to not break them. What motivations that do work and what doesnt. If they knew i was reading this channel of information would partly be closed.

I have a personal one for the meaningless stuff, and a professional one for my, well, professional stuff. So, I tend to not stray too far off topic on rickscheibner.net.

I haven’t personally digested anything longer than a blog post in the last three years. I can only assume I haven’t missed anything.

viz. Taylor’s and my conviction that the best way to be interesting is to be interested, gotta link up Russell Davies’ article again, How To Be Interesting.
