If you don't use an RSS reader yet, I recommed Google Reader because you can access it from any computer. It's a great way to keep up with all of your favorite blogs (and this one, too!).

My Search feature (top right) does a pretty good job on the rants and reviews. Try entering 'emerg*' (without the quotes) to see my take on things emergent and emerging.

As always, thanks for sharing any comments. Disagreements are usually more interesting than applause!
