Do you use Google Reader as your RSS feed reader? You should because not only is it fantastic online, but a humdinger offline. It took me a while to figure how to access the reader through my browser (Firefox) once offline, but now that I know I wanted to pass it along. I had been trying to get to it by going to reader.google.com; the correct URL is google.com/reader. It makes all the difference. Thanks, Google!

For more info about using Google Reader offline, see this page.

Joshua Harris has a good post My One and Only Week on Facebook in which he gives several reasons for his ditching the famed socialization portal:

1. “I don’t need another reason for staring at a computer screen.”
2. “I found that it encouraged me to think about me even more than I already do…I need to grow in self-forgetfulness. I need to worry more about what God is thinking of me. I need to be preoccupied with what he’s written in his word, not what somebody just wrote on my ‘wall.’”
3. “And, finally, I need to read more.”

Computers can be a double sin (if there’s such a thing): creating opportunity for sin and keeping one from more profitable things.

Have many books could I have read with all the time I’ve wasted on my laptop?
