that is a great idea!
Sweet idea with using tags with Google Reader. I've been just staring items, but they are getting mixed together with personal stuff. I'm going to be using the tag system now.

oh, i like that.

I've found the daily devotional reading often does it for me – proof that God often speaks to us through the Scriptures! And having a BIG list of diverse RSS feeds to peruse (like yours) often triggers something for me.

When i've run out of stuff to say, i'll sometimes go through the photos i've taken looking for interesting photos to post. At least its something posted, and it also serves to break up the blocks of text on the site.
