Paper Overload
I need to serously review my reading strategy. I have written here before about how hard it is to keep track of all the current pubs I want to be reading. The basic problem is that when I read an old interesting paper I find that it cites papers located not in one or two specialized journals but maybe 5 or 6 locations. All of which mostly specialize in something completely different.
Therefore if I want to see the kind of things I am interested in I have to sift through ~100 articles to see one or two good things. Of course there is no problem that one cant solve with enough money. In this case a mac with DevonThink would do the trick. Total cost ~$2000.
Meanwhile my solution is Bloglines and their wholely inferior search feature. But its better than before. Above is the journals category after a typical weekend!
