With the recently announced demise of Google Reader in Google’s Spring Cleaning post, it looks like Google is getting out of the blog reading business. Therefore, I’ve decided to transition away from FeedBurner, their blog feed publishing platform, as well. (Goodbye RSS subscriber stats of questionable reliability).

This is awesome.

We’ve spent a lot of time together over the years.

It was a good run, but I see you’re ready to move on. Maybe it’s for the best we’re splitting up. I’m sure I’ll find somewhere else to read the Internet.

p.s. It won’t be Google+.

The new Pope overlooking St. Peter’s Square. Everyone wanted to get a picture.

Small states have a significant advantage in the senate.

Kerry Skarbakka makes the act of falling into a work of art.

Arizona-based artist Kerry Skarbakka has received both awards and death threats for his controversial ‘falling man’ images.

This set of images gives me anxiety, but it captures a beautiful moment of panic. More of his work is on his site.
