Geek-End Update

Where have all the Geek-Ends gone?

I was pleasantly surprised to have heard this question quite a few times during the Destination D event at Walt Disney World in May. I answered the questions truthfully: it took a lot of time and I rarely received feedback from readers and content producers about the links. I wanted to focus my time more on researching and writing about Disney history. I started using Delicious to save links from my Google Reader account. Delicious posts my daily links to my RSS feed which makes it easy to keep up with them and turn them into a Geek-End post.

Enjoy!
