Creative Idea by Paul Hampton - Preserve Those Little Things You Love

I'm busy re-populating my RSS feeds, now in Feedly, since Google Reader is no more. I haven't figured out how to upload my old Google Reader backup file, so I'm starting from scratch, which may be good anyway. I will admit I'd sort of gotten tired of the same several hundred (!) blogs and forums I had on my list.
 
So, here's some inspiration from Paul Hampton, who photographed his possessions, at least some that matter to him.

I like this idea very much. I remember a couple of years ago I finally had to disassemble the bulletin boards that hung in my late brother's room from thirty-some years in the past. I had moved them, intact, countless times over those years. Finally, I took everything off, scanned it on my Epson flatbed scanner, and put it into a big envelope, discarding the boards themselves. Interesting stuff there - ticket stubs from the Led Zeppelin concert that he attended, and I was too young to attend. Various pictures of friends - some still around, some not, in their high school days. Anyway, I at least documented them. Paul's idea is much more artistic. I wish I'd thought to do this with my record collection before it vanished a few years back. Anyway, I hope you like the idea, too.

Google Reader is Gone? Guess I Missed the Memo

Well, this should not be a surprise. Apparently, it was announced in March. But, it is.
 
This morning, I went to my Google Reader app, which allows me to look at a very large number of blogs quickly. Here's what I found:
 
Google Reader is Gone!
 
I will have to figure out where to go next with this. I need some way to accumulate blogs that I check regularly. Hmm. Maybe I'd better figure out how to export my current links before July 15.
 
And, maybe I'd better figure out how to back-up and export my 600 blog entries. If I missed this, I suppose I could miss Google cancelling blogspot as well.
