Blogs and feeds

I've been vaguely using LJ as an RSS feed reader for ages, but have just started moving over to Google Reader, and am trying to impose some order on the non-LJ stuff I'm reading. And part of 'imposing order' means gathering up new and exciting stuff to read

I delete everything from my RSS reader every 18 months or so, to stop it getting overburdened - the theory is that I'll only remember to re-add the stuff I actually found useful, and have space for new things, and not for ever have more to read than I can possibly manage. And I'm at a fairly low ebb at the moment. But off the top of my head, and in a sort-of thematically linked ramble...

Things is collections of links about interesting stuff, very irregular, no real consistent theme though some skewing towards architecture; Strange Harvest is more commentary, less links, more architecture-and-design focused; City of Sound is all design and cities and books; Infovore is mostly links with brief commentary, lots of design and game stuff; Raph Koster is lots of game-related stuff from a designy angle. Hm, it's fairly clear where my obsessions are these days. Mimi Smartypants is not connected to any of my current obsessions but is great, very personable and cheerful-cross-cheerful, and writing in the kind-of "here are some things that happened that were amusing for these reasons, here are some links, hello, conversation conversation, HOORAY!" tone that is part of what I like about many people's livejournals.

Things I am involved in: The Sandpit is allegedly Interesting Games+Cities Stuff from a few people involved with the Hide and Seek festival, but we have been very lax about ever actually writing anything. But we had a meeting last week where we sternly resolved to do so. We'll see. Minor Delays is (in the process of becoming) a short story for every tube station, in alphabetical order - currently up to Barkingside.
