Because having a blog wasn't already narcissistic enough, I've added my "current reading" list to the sidebar, retroactive back to October.
Now you too can follow along and watch as I start and fail to finish books!

Eyes to the right...
Alert readers of this space will notice that The Fortress' other contributor also now has a Twitter feed, which I've added to the sidecar.
As an aside, did you know that Twitter's blogger widget doesn't support more than one twitter feed in the blog sidecar? Neither did I, until I had to spend the last 20 minutes rewriting their javascript.

It's always good news / Bad news with The Internet
Signing up for Facebook and Twitter in the same week have got me thinking alot about the web as a communications medium. The way it does.
Let's recap. I've got a blog with a feed. A Facebook page. Twitter. A Gmail account. Google Calendar. Google Reader. And an iPhone, with a whole mess of apps that tie into the above, along with mobile safari. Not to mention things like Yahoo Pipes and FeedBurner, which are sitting in the back row going "pick me, pick me!"
My response to this is to think that there must be a way to lash all that together to make my life easier. No, scratch that - by "easier", I really mean "more organized." Instead, "checking my email" now takes half an hour and uses a dozen services instead of ten minutes with Thunderbird like it used to.
I feel like you do about ten moves into working on a rubix cube. It's still all just a mess of different colors, and you're kinda still thrashing around, but the shape of the big picture is starting to form. You don't know the right moves to get there yet, but you're starting to be able to see the final shape down at the end of the hallway.

I finally got the style-switching widget working. (Among other nips and tweaks.) Yay me?
