Google Reader, and other ways to procrastinate

Google's new Reader is a vast improvement. I think I may give up on Bloglines. I particularly like the ability to flag things I've read to show up in the box on the left (below my profile). I can even set up different sharing lists for each blog (if you're here, you probably don't care about the latest in knitting). What's missing is the ability to search your feeds. And, if you run out of things to read you end up here.

Yesterday I read this post over at Financial Rounds. Of course, I had to check out the Piled Higher and Deeper archives -- great stuff! Here's one of my favorites. And another.
