My first woot

Just spent about $50 on a wireless keyboard and gryation mouse... always wanted a good wireless keyboard... now I should have one. Got it at http://www.woot.com - a site that sells ONE thing every day. Pretty interesting model, and it's been around for a year or so, so it must be working. They got some of my money today.

Reading List

My online reading list was falling WAY behind, and I was never really happy with the format - so I decided it was time to change it. I considered a couple of options. First I determined the "functionality" of the list was to recommend books to other people, and (shamelessly) show off that I read. So, it had to show up as a webpage in some form.

Formats I considered:
1. Simple Excel File, then "save as html" to my public webpage
2. base.google.com
3. Protopage

For starters - I went with the protopage option (you can see it here: http://protopage.com/mattinnh - you have to click on "page 2" on the bottom) - but I'd like to explore the google base option more.
