shared items feature to your right

Just wanted to include a brief explanation of the recent addition to the blog -- shared items. Basically, Google Reader allows me to centralize the posts from all the blogs I read, as well as magazine articles, etc. It also allows me to "share" posts/articles I find of particular interest, which I do, and often include a brief note on what I take from the post. It's quick and easy, and fun for the whole family!
