RSS is one of those things I love, because I'm a certified news junkie. Once upon a time, I would set my computer up in front of the TV so that I could watch the 24 hour news channels. This was, of course, back when they actually carried news, as opposed to whatever drunken escapades Paris Hilton has recently gotten into. (C-SPAN remains a guilty pleasure.)
My problem, if you can call it that, is that RSS is TOO useful. I wind up biting off more than I can chew in terms of news intake, so entire feeds go unnoticed for days or even weeks on end. Laugh if you want, but this happens with me and podcasts too. There are only so many hours in a day, after all, and in theory I spend at least a third of them sleeping (Half Life 2 says otherwise, of late).
Gamer Trivia Moment: Those of you with a Nintendo Wii console (which is probably a pretty small number, given the likely audience for this blog) will of course know that you have an RSS reader of sorts built right into your Wii, in the form of the Wii News Channel. I probably had way more fun with that than most Wii users did. >__> Oh news junkies. We're so crazy.
