   Too many of these Erin. It is almost enough for me to take your blog off my google reader. If I wanted to see what you blogged about a year ago, I would look for it.

   IMHO – I like it! If you don’t know what your looking for, how can you look for it?

   I know other blogs set it up so you can opt out of them. Perhaps this is possible here as well?

   You can filter out A Year Ago posts from your RSS feed with Yahoo Pipes.

   I agree with “I hate these”. This really just seems like filler – please rather focus on writing new posts and keep your RSS feed uncluttered, as I thought this blog was supposed to be about.

   You had mentioned proudly in a previous post that you try to generate so many posts in a week (I forget the exact number) – these “A year ago” posts seem like a simple way to meet your weekly quota.

   Quality over quantity please, Erin. Otherwise you will lose readers.

   With respect to the 3″ holes mentioned in the iPod post:

   a) tool lending libraries also may have hole cutters
   b) it is possible to cut a circular hole in a glass desk – it’s just a different tool

   As for the year ago posts, I’m a little conflicted about them. As a relatively new reader, it’s a nice way to see some of what you posted in the past. On the other hand, I don’t really want to have to filter them out once I’ve been reading for over a year. Isn’t an archive section on the web site sufficient, really?
