Dealing with information overload
How I skim my "high volume" feeds: information overload from Clint Ecker on Vimeo. I've long thought it would be interesting to make a video of how people with tons of feeds skim them and pull out interesting information. This is my "high volume" folder which holds posts from sites which post 10+ more items a day and which I could "mark all as read" and not miss much. When I skim through these posts, this is how I do it. Each post probably gets less than a second to catch my attention. You can definitely see which posts get ...

New blogs I'm reading

I was already pretty good with Django prior, but the experience of building this site and adding on new features almost every day have really tightened up my skills and depth of knowledge of the framework. Two interesting things I've added in the past few days are: Site sends a Twitter direct message when someone leaves a comment. This is really cool and has already been helpful. I get a ...
