Google Reader and Roundup of Today's Interesting Links

I’ve been using Google Reader for a while to aggregate various articles and news feeds which I follow from all around the blogosphere.  Reader allows you to review content which has been aggregated from various sources, categorize it, and share the links/bookmarks with your friends.  A page with my shared bookmarks, an ATOM feed of my shared marks (and today’s links) are listed below:
