Google Reader subscription list and parser
I added a new page over on the right, My Google Reader Subscriptions. I wrote a little OPML to HTML parser that will take your OPML export from Google Reader and generate all the HTML for you if you’d like to create a similar listing. Just a real quick Javascript job, but I might expand it into something with more features in the future.
Skim through the list of Friend Blogs, you might be missing out on someone’s site. Try running your own subscriptions through the parser and post it up. Would be cool to see what people are reading and if there’s anything others might be interested in.
Not Using Google Reader? You should and here’s how
Google posted up a video guide that goes through how to use Google Reader. I posted about using Google Reader to keep up on your friends’ blogs back in 2007, but a lot of people have joined our little blogging circle since then. If you aren’t using a feed reader and still click through to everyone’s site then give Google Reader a try.
I’m also experimenting with Facebook imports, so if you are seeing this on Facebook, come visit our blogs if you have never been before. My siblings have to fly under the radar at http://theblarg.com and http://myrighteousindignation.com/.

Check your savings account rates
I had moved all my savings to Wamu before they failed and were offering 5% on their savings accounts. I knew they had been dropping the rate, but I looked the other day and it was down to 1.15%. I signed up with ING Direct to try them out since they’re offering closer to 2.5%. Was easy to setup an account and withdraw funds from my checking. If you’re interested in opening an ING Direct account, leave a comment and I can send you a referral email that gives you $25 just for signing up (I get $10).
