Tech news, Business news, Celebrity gossip, you can’t catch me off guard. I’m always in the know. My GF get’s mad cause I’m always up on the latest Hollywood gossip before she is. I’m not proud of that, I just want to know when Jessica Simpson is single, and heading to Vegas. haha jk.

Fact is I crush through 1400+ News articles a day. How do I do it? Google Reader. Famous Tech Maven Robert Scoble goes through 600 Feeds. I think I’m only at like 200 feeds, but I already get a lot of dup postings, and can’t imagine what kinda of duplicates that man gets. Here’s the big big secret.. Use Keyboard Shortcuts.

j/k	item down/up	selects the next/previous item in the list
space/shift-space	page down/up	moves the page down/up
n/p	scan down/up	in list view, selects the next item without opening it
