As I was sitting at my desk – staring at my screen – I began to feel a bit overwhelmed. Open was my twitter, skype and netvibes (my current feedreader).

I have found lately that skype and twitter have pushed blogs (including my own) to the background. Like our kids, I like the immediacy of connecting via twitter (kinda like a microblogging with a built in RSS?) and skype (which I am using a lot right now to connect as we plan the 1001 Tales project and manage other student collaborative projects).

But all of this is just a bit too much for a Friday afternoon. With over 180 unread posts (split evenly between my edublogger friends I follow and the 70 students in my undergrad BEd course I teach), I just couldn’t bring myself to open the feedreader.

So…it’s closed…and I’m outta here…no work til tomorrow.
