digging through quicksand with a spoon

Behold my progress through my Bloglines feeds

A feeble 247 postings worth...

I'm trying to find a reasonable balance.  To mix metaphors:

I want to take a nice, refreshing dip in the information river and emerge energized.
When I was trying to follow all feeds every day, I felt more like I was swept away in the torrent, to emerge hours later exhausted, coughing up info-water.

What I'm ending up mostly doing these days is checking my Technorati faves every couple days, and randomly selecting one or two other blogs to follow for a week or so.
