I must do a post and ask people how many feeds they are subscribed to. Everyone was shocked when I quoted a similar number at BarCamp. I was shocked that they were shocked. I did point out that they are not all blogs. There are tons of Technorati Search Feeds for work, lots of rarely updated sites and things like BreakingNews.ie can be scanned really quickly. I keep pruning back to about 200 but bit by bit the number goes back up. I live and die by my mouse wheel and speed reading!

Mobile tech is the only one to stymie me. Failed miserably to get photos to post from the phone! Coming in a sec the old fashioned way (via Flickr :-)) Neal, you picked two classics with Aine and Niamh. Even English people fail miserably with those two. When we named Oisín, an old buddy from college also named Oisín mailed me to congratulate us on condemning our child to having people mispronounce his name for the rest of his life! Can I just thank the person who invented the epidural. 5 babies and we finally get it right on the last one. Thanks everyone!
