I’ve been sharing some stuff I find interesting via my Google Reader stream. Take a look and discover some miscellaneous tidbits about social media, the year’s most retweetable Twitter posts, movie comparisons and the occasional how-to article.

Speaking of retweetable tweets, I see the No. 10 item comes from @shitmydadsays. It is this: Don’t focus on the one guy who hates you. You don’t go to the park and set your picnic down next to the only pile of dog shit. That’s a pretty good perspective. I’m still not going to follow that account, or watch the TV show based on it.

Remember Sydney? She’s a co-worker’s amazing daughter who went through a series of medical treatments earlier this year as part of the process to beat cancer. (I blogged about Sydney and her situation in October.) Well, Sydney celebrated her 3rd birthday on Tuesday, Dec. 14. And our humble effort to raise funds to help her parents with medical bills has netted more than $2,000. Thank you all for lending your support.

Sydney’s mom is now blogging about the experience. You should read it.
