Posting a note to myself. One of the first blogs I read regularly in 2006 (that wasn't a tatting blog) was this one. It was called (you guessed it) "Jason. For the love of God." That Chick Over There regularly kept me in stitches with her thoughts, prose and rants.
Then came the sad, sad day when I noticed her RSS feed hadn't updated in awhile. The while stretched longer and longer until I resigned myself that I would no longer get to read her thoughts on life. It was like a light had gone out in the world.
Fast forward to today. While making preparations for the July 1st demise of Google Reader, I noticed a new (to me) post! It directed readers to a new blog.... *drumroll*
Oh how I have missed you, Chick. Settling in for a leisurely read. It is a good day.

That Chick Over There You might also know me as Stephanie Snowe. I'm a mom, a wife, a writer, and a blogger. Oh and people think I'm hilarious and they are right....now has her own domain: Stephanie Snowe: The Blog!

Carol Lawecki asked for information on what alternatives exist for Google Reader. Here is what I found:
- Flipboard - lets you compose and share personalised magazines. It's very well done.
- Reeder - available on the Mac, iPhone, and iPad. It takes your Google Reader subscriptions and presents them in a "clean and well-lighted" way.
- Digg Reader - ready to save power users from Google Reader shutdown
- Feedly - a highly customizable app, offered as an app on iOS and Android, and as extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on your laptop or desktop.
