Probably the handiest thing about the feed sites like Bloglines is the ability to put information into folders. As basic as it this seems, it really helps me organize my information so that I can keep personal and professional feeds under the same account and yet not have to worry about rummaging through the various feeds in order to find the ones that are needed at the time. For my personal folders, I've created:
Library blogs
Library News
Paranormal (long live Ghost Hunters)
Humor
Friend's Feeds
Video Games
Graphic Novels

#8- RSS Feeds
While I have a bloglines account, I have found myself slowly converting over to Google Reader.
Personally, I find that it is more compatible with the various computers I use, but it is also a handy all-in-one application to go along with the many other G-related sources I am using.
That said, an RSS aggregator has been an incredible time saver for me. I spend far less time running around trying to remember the various news sites, web sites, and blog sites I like to read. Since I can choose the option to read snippets of articles as well, I save a lot of time through quick browsing various articles and then picking ones of personal interest.
Handy dandy!

Fun with Scanners-
Yoshihiro Tatsumi is one of the most famous graphic artists in Japan with a career spanning 40 years.
And the United States is just getting acquainted with him.
About two years ago, Tatsumi. released his first graphic novel in the United States. His books, which contain minimal words and are somewhat simplistic in artwork, offer an insight into a post-war Japan, where men struggle with identity, the self, and their responsibilities to family and society. Powerful stories and statements, a must read for any graphic enthusiast.
The picture above was scanned from his latest graphic, Abandon the Old in Tokyo.

Check out the local author, Mr. Kahan.
A month or two back, we had the opportunity for give up some of his time and offer a writing seminar to our aspiring authors.
Filled with talent and a wonderful sense of humor, Mr. Kahan provided a wildly entertaining night for all who came.
