Speed Reading

I found something awesome on the internet once again. Or that I believe to be neat.

Spreeder

Yes, it sounds odd, but you paste text in there from the internet and the words flash by real quick and times it all out. I tried an article from BBC and it only took me 2 minutes to read through, but I'm not sure how long it would have taken reading it the old fashioned way in huge chunks. They recommend that beginners do one word to four words at a time, and then move on to quick large chunks. Seems like a good idea if not much faster... considering I was already a quick reader. Put perhaps it increases absorbancy or something. Good to check out anyway.

Blogger Beta

The new blogger beta causes me to change my template, create labels, enter specific HTML code in little boxes, all because I don't feel like looking into the new way Blogger does things. But it was quite simple, and the color scheme is easy to change if I get tired of the simple white and gray. It's all new and unique, and updates quickly without the loading clock. I approve.

Speaking of new things, apparently facebook has riled people against all the new changes taking place in things called feeds. There have been numerous articles that I read each day about how many people have signed how many petitions, and even one website suggesting a boycott if the changes aren't removed. Tech writers remark on how interesting the idea is, and how if it had been an integral part of facebook in the beginning, people would have cried at its removal. I'm not sure exactly about my thoughts, but you can remove yourself from the stalking easily, so it can't be all that bad.
