End of an Era: Google Reader

I was not planning on posting about this, but since I still catch myself going to google reader to see social shares I figured I might as well memorialize it on my blog.

On October 31, 2011 Google Reader effectively died. By stripping away the social features, google reader is little more than an average RSS feed aggregation. To read the full blasphemous press release check out the following:

Google Fonts

I’ve implemented some google fonts on this blog, just to try it out and see how it performs. And, it actually seems to work pretty well. Its quick, all the text is selectable its all very nice. I did setup the titles to use a serif font, and the body text to use sans-serif which is the opposite of the underlying styles so it would be easy to see if it changed. Anyone that is interested should take a look at the site and let me know what you think.
