I will most likely be leaving the Bay Area withing within two months. As that time approaches I'll likely be posting less articles as I focus on moving.

There have been zero issues to moderate here so far and do not expect that to change.

Post here if you are interested in being a mod.

(I'll post all the news sources I use later today.)

Technical stuff:

I use an RSS homepage which lets me see each site as a widget with each post as a headline. I hover over the headline and I can (usually) read the intro.
The homepage I use can parse several websites that other RSS readers cannot but it chokes on some.
