Brad Feld RSS Feed: The Long List of Interesting Stuff This Morning

[David Sandusky]

My RSS Feed is a Thinker and Has Just Posted the Following:

It's Friday and there's a remarkable amount of interesting stuff that came out of my morning "catch up on blog / email" routine.  I was going to write a couple of different blogs, but then realized that I didn't have a lot to add to any of them other than "read this - it's interesting."  There are a few "linkblogs" that I follow, but I find many break down quickly and become just "lists of more stuff."
I'm curious - if I started linking to the top few things (up to five - of any sort) that I read each morning with a brief description, would this be interesting to you dear reader? This is coming from the set of 500 or so blogs I scan via FeedDemon each morning.  Please give me feedback - do you like this or is it just another ponderous set of links to ignore.
Let's try it and see.
Rock-and-Roll Fantasy: A fun article in Newsweek about Alex Rigopulos and Eran Egozy - the two founders of Harmonix - and how they are changing videogames.  They also got a well deserved mention in Time's 100 Top Techies.
A Sporting Gesture Touches 'Em All: This is a beautiful story about something that I expect would never happen in baseball, but happened in a college girls softball game. 
Data Centers Are Becoming Big Polluters, Study Finds: I brought this up as an example at a CU Silicon Flatirons Roundtable I was part of yesterday.  I got it slightly wrong - the punchline is that the world's data centers are projected to surpass the airline industry as a greenhouse gas polluter by 2020.
More Signup Power: Bill Flagg of RegOnline talks about how he has continuously optimized the RegOnline signon page to maximize the conversion rate.  Web services companies - take notice.
Tomorrow's Forecast: Cloudy Skies & Sunshine: Jud Valeski - the CTO and co-founder of Gnip (one of our new companies) writes about his first blush experiences with Amazon Web Services (AWS for those of you in the know.)
