This morning i started playing with a new RSS reader. Some fraction of the motivation is that there is a cloud service which, for $20 a year, will synchronize my RSS feeds between my work machine, personal machine, and web reading. In the months since getting a new machine the time spent on catching up on feeds i caught up on the the other machine has been well over an hour, so this seems like a reasonable investment.
As LJ's synchronization with feeds has been erratic for a long time, and as Safari's feed reading is also a little flaky, i'm hoping the time spent on porting pays off. (I spent some time last night trying to find something that would convert Safari Bookmarks to OPML, which could then be imported by Shrook. No luck. I've been porting by hand for some hours this morning.)

Last night i had dinner with a friend and then did some repair work at the Meeting House. Our conversation was really good -- i do have to bracket how she gives advice in my mind. Too often she begins with a, "You should...," when i don't want or need any advice; i'm just sharing something i'm working on. Listening to her talk a little about being ADD -- and sharing how my colleague just paced the conference room this week as we met -- helps me draw another little box of compassion around her "You should"s.
She was claiming not to be an introvert, but it was interesting how she described her need to talk over problems out loud: it very much reminds me of how i process with journaling. As i reflected over our conversation later, i realized my association with other introverts leads me to wonder:
If you're an extrovert, what drains you? I'm under the impression that being with others energizes extroverts, but does being alone drain extroverts?
