I’m an RSS junkie. Ever since I learned about them on an episode of NPR’s Future Tense back in 2004, RSS feeds have been my pri­mary method for con­sum­ing news and blog con­tent.

In the pre-​netbook days, I had my PC and my Win­dows Mobile device. Since I don’t use an Exchange server, I just teth­ered my phone to my PC and had cabled sync­ing. Easy. But now I have three devices to syn­chro­nize, and on top of that, I decided I don’t like cables. What’s a geek to do? More
