12/15/2004 Entry: "RSS aggregators are fast cars on a crowded freeway"

"....Secondary roads are preferred. Paved county roads are the best, state highways are next. Freeways are the worst. We want to make good time, but for us now this is measured with emphasis on "good" rather than "time" and when you make that shift in emphasis the whole approach changes. Twisting hilly roads are long in terms of seconds but are much more enjoyable on a cycle where you bank into turns and don't get swung from side to side in any compartment. Roads with little traffic are more enjoyable, as well as safer. Roads free of drive-ins and billboards are better, roads where groves and meadows and orchards and lawns come almost to the shoulder, where kids wave to you when you ride by, where people look from their porches to see who it is, where when you stop to ask directions or information the answer tends to be longer than you want rather than short, where people ask where you're from and how long you've been riding."

I've fixed the RSS feed a bit for you people who use aggregators. Personally I don't use one, and hope to never , never fall into their trap. I have no need nor desire to track 10,000 feeds. I'll never track many more than are on the sidebar over there.
