DISQUS

Very nicely done. This is an interesting concept, that of "pooling" funds from friends to allow your wife to get what she truly wants. Have you been with successful with this in the past? I know that some people don't like to contribute to a group gift, but prefer to give specific gifts that they feel the person would like, or maybe something that has a special meaning between the gift giver and recipient...

Saw the maternity items... you're expecting Very cool, my wife is just through her first trimester with our first. :)

Ok. GR is better than live bookmarks. :)

Hmmm... Maybe I should just work with a reader for a bit to see how it works for me. I'm such a creature of habit though.

One thing I've noticed since switching to the mac, is that I struggle with deciding which is the "best" app I should be running for a particular task. (This is a bit of a tangent)

It seems that apple lovers are so quick to tout how wonderful some of the built-in apps are on a mac (Safari, Mail, iChat, etc...) but then quickly ditch them for some other third party app (Firefox, Thunderbird, Adium, etc...) Personally, since I'm new to the apple world, I really want to use the nice Cocoa-based, intel-optimized Apple apps... I just want to believe that for my money, the apple apps are going to provide the most sort of "holistic apple experience" for my switch... But I'm beginning to think that this isn't the case based on the sheer number of folks who are using non-apple apps.

Am I the only one that struggles with this? :) Seriously iChat or Adium? hehe

What are the benefits of using a newsreader vs just having Live Bookmarks in Firefox? I've been using the latter ever since I realized what that little RSS icon started popping up.

Am I missing something?

The nice thing about FF, is that it allows you to have your bookmarks open down the left side of your browser, so you can see the content along with your feeds/bookmarks.
