Thing 3 - stop the madness

I realized my link idea doesn't work for the RSS, but I did FINALLY get Slate feed at the bottom of my blog page. I opened a Google Reader account and added 3 sources so far: Unshelved, MPR, and a coworker's blog. I haven't yet figured out how to get this feed directly on my blog though. I've spent way too much time on this, and think I'll move on to thing 4 and revisit this later.
