It's spring time, and it's time for some cleaning. Let's start with the most bothersome: my computer. Let's keep it small and start with RSS feeds. As it stands, my RSS feed has 23 sources.
Twenty. Three.
I should not have that many feeds, and after Gizmodo's undying need to post irrelevant shit, reposts of sister-site stories that have nothing to do with gadgets, their baby-sized posts of one or two sentences with a link to their source (pretty much a Twitter-esque post), or just overall debacles, I've decided to clean things up a bit.
That, and I'm sick of sorting through 300 stories a day when I get home from work, as well as my annual trip to New Jersey for Bamboozle is this weekend, I wanna keep my nightly tech splurges back in the hotel room to a minimum, and focused more on pizza, beer and playing caps.
As you can see to the left, this is a representation of my RSS feeds, courtesy of Reeder, my default choice of RSS feeders. As above, I have 23 feeds. Dropping down to 20 is ideal. 15 would be great. But where to start...
First to go is the obvious: Gizmodo. I only started following them during their iPhone 4 "coverage" around this time last year. That's a given. They have just under a quarter of a million subscribers, according to Google Reader (probably due in part to people like me, who started following them during the aforementioned time frame), so me leaving won't hurt. However, I suggest you do the same if you feel their quality waning on you.

[OFF-TOPIC] Picked up the new MacBook Pro with Sandy Bridge
Apple, Apple, Apple. When will you cease to take my money?
I ended up upgrading from the MB470 (late 2008 MBP unibody refresh; 15" w/ 2.4GHz C2D) to the new MC721 (15" w/ 2.0GHz i7 SB) today.
That is all.
