I've always felt overwhelmed by the sheer volume of stuff I wanted to read/watch/listen to - so many interesting books, magazine articles, newspapers, Lehrer News Hour, NPR programs like All Things Considered and Fresh Air. With the Internet my anxiety over all of the things I DON'T have time for has increased - what, X-100? X-1000? And now, with RSS feeds I can have all of the content I don't have time to read delivered! Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? I'll go read a book and let my subconscious sort it out.
But first, these are the RSS subscriptions I've added - Tech News from the Fayetteville Free Library, David Lee King's blog, Rachel Maddow, and free Kindle ebooks. It was easy, though I can't figure out why some of them appear in my Google Reader Dashboard, and some don't. Not really sure what the dashboard is for yet anyway...

I know what you mean about anxiety. Fortunately Google Reader includes a handy-dandy button inscribed "Mark all as read". I had to sort of grit my teeth the first few times I used it, but now I have no guilt about using it whenever I get too many unread updates piling up.
