You ever delete unread messages in your inbox (subscriptions to some news service or something) and say to yourself “knowing my luck, those will be the editions that actually HAVE something I’d be interested in reading tonight?”

I’ve discovered this wonderful new web service aptly called “FeedMyInbox” which will take any web feed and send it to your inbox daily (sometimes more than once a day depending on the feed). I was getting WAY behind my news subscriptions in Google Reader and no method of keeping was working for me at ALL. I put a reader on my phone, it’s still there telling me I have the same 742 unread items that I had when I first installed it. So I trimmed my reading list thinking that if I had less to read I’d be more inclined to keep up. Well, that’s all fine and dandy when you have time outside your other interests to go TO Reader and read. So I thought it’d be nice to have some key feeds delivered in my email since I (a) read email on my phone quite a bit and (b) always check my email at some point anyway. If I don’t have time to do anything else, I make time to check mail because that’s one of the key methods for me to keep in touch with people.

Well, for the last 3 or 4 days, my feeds (except for the personal blogs) have been B-O-R-I-N-G. I haven’t had any REALLY interesting articles for at least a couple of days. Tonight when I saw the 3 messages sitting in my inbox, being that I am so tired and needed to blog anyway … I deleted them.

/sigh

Of course, you KNOW that one of those will have THE article of the WEEK that I SHOULD have read. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to dream them up myself in sleep tonight.
