It’s a seriously daunting task whenever I “forget” to check in on my Google Reader for awhile and then go back and see some of the numbers next to my unread count amounting to large numbers. Like for instance, the 1000+ posts from Mashable that I haven’t read in my Google Reader (though I follow them on Facebook, so catch some of the posts while I’m checking that). And after every time that I spend some time away from the computer, I spend a lot of time catching up on everything… It takes a few days, but once it’s done, I find it rejuvenating and inspiring.
Let’s take a walk through some of the awesome posts I’ve missed in my absence:

- It’s Possible To Post To Facebook From The Afterlife
Author: Justin Lafferty | Source: AllFacebook.com This kind of thing has been on mind a lot lately. I don’t want to just die and have nothing ever said to the one’s I really care about. I think being able to do it on Facebook is awesome, because who doesn’t use Facebook? However, I also think that it’s impersonal and a little creepy. I don’t want to go onto Facebook to constantly be reminded of my dead friends… - INFOGRAPHIC: Ways to Get More Shares on Facebook
Author: Justin Lafferty | Source: AllFacebook.com I’m always a huge fan of infographics. I’m not sure what it is about them that I love so much, I just know that I really like getting my information in infographic form. This one offers up a couple of ways to get more shares on Facebook including posting at particular times of day and more frequently as well as using your authentic voice and captivating images. Good tips! - Why Google Glass Could Be Bad For Your Eyes
Author: Samantha Murphy | Source: Mashable I think, even if Google Glass was bad for my eyes, I’d probably still want a pair… - Google Glass May Arrive for Consumers by End of Year
Author: Emily Price | Source: Mashable Say what?!? By the end of the year?!? And really, considering what these things are supposed to be able to do, $1500 isn’t that outrageous. I want it!! - 10 Awesome Things That Happened At The Star Trek Reunion
Author: AshleyRose Sullivan | Source: Mashable With all my recent musings about Star Trek, it’s no wonder that this is added to my list. I’ve kind of become really obsessed and have more than once searched the internet for both Brent Spiner (my most favorite character on the show) and Patrick Stewart (because how can you not love Jean-Luc Picard?!?). They all sound like an epic crew!

Author: lunaKM | Source: lunaKM One thing that I love about the way that lunaKM writes is how she pulls you into her situation. While you may not be experiencing popularity from your blog, you can understand what she’s going through and how she’s talking about it. I love being pulled into her world! - Sex Addiction – Dr Jenn & Dr. Neil Cannon
Author: Dr. Jenn | Source: Dr. Jenn’s Den In this episode of In The Den with Dr. Jenn, there is short discussion about sex addiction and the issues with labeling someone as a sex addict and how to deal with it if you feel you have it. I’ve often been curious about sex addiction and think that I would make a great sex therapist specializing in this matter. - The Hubba-Hubba Girl: Evelyn West, double bill
Author: Gloria | Source: Gloria’s Oversexed Mind I absolutely loved the video in this post. It’s cute how she tells you where she got her clothes as she’s taking them off. I don’t where Gloria finds this stuff, but it’s pretty freaking spectacular. I’m sharing tons of her stuff over on the Lifestyle Bloggers Anonymous Tumblr blog! - Butt Bongo, the hipster version
Author: Gloria | Source: Gloria’s Oversexed Mind Okay, this one is so good that I’m just reposting the entire video! You all know that I’m a fan of hand-drumming, based on my post This Should Be a Viral Video… IMHO, but this one is so so so so so much better than that! Now I just need to decide if I want to be the drummer or the drum…
- I’m Online
I’ll leave it on that note, though there are a couple other really great posts, like this one from Submissive guide about boot-blacking or this one about prostate massage from a contributor to SexIs. There’s just too much good stuff to read! What’s your favorite post and why?
