I use a great news reader called NetNewsWire Lite (for OS X) to catch up on Internet news when I have the time. Every time I browse the headlines, I find interesting stories written by highly intelligent people and I am guaranteed to learn something new.

Usually I am disappointed in my lack ability to contribute something worthwile to this great resource we call the Internet. But once in a while I think of something that I think is really cool and I want to share with someone else.

When those moments come along, I try to contribute something back. Just taking the time to think something through and write it up is reward enough, but occasionally, someone will send an email thanking me for posting something to the web that helped them solve a problem or see something from a different perspective.

And for a moment, I might feel like one of those smart people on the Internet that I am so impressed with.  11:03:16 PM      Google It!
