Searching for alternatives…: Google Reader is dead pt.3

Two weeks ago I started this 3-part series about Google Reader’s imminent closure with how an RSS reader allows me to plow through large volumes of news articles and blog posts, as I categorize them into topics relevant to me.

Reading & Sharing: Google Reader is dead pt.2

RSSWorld-150x150

Last week I started my 3-part series on how Google Reader’s imminent closure is forcing me out of my comfort zone, to re-evaluate what I do with it and what is available out there (hint: nothing impressive) so I don’t get caught with my shorts down come July 1st. I started outlining last week how an RSS reader allows me to plow through large volumes of news articles and blog posts, as I categorize them into topics relevant to me. Continue reading

I visited Vancouver 3 three times in the springs of 1995, 2002 and 2009. The first time was with my father who was traveling on business and brought me along as a graduation present. That trip took me also to Seattle, however, at that time, there were no Hard Rock Cafes in either cities. The one in Vancouver opened a few weeks after my visit, on June 6, 1995. The one in Seattle opened in 2011. Continue reading
