Many years ago my therapist asked me "do you want to define yourself by what you ARE or by what you AREN'T?"
I think about that a lot when I see people giving so much attention/anger/hatred to things that a) they are not and b) didn't affect them in any way.

Ha!
I was also sad because they didn't notify me they were shutting down AND their blog post linked to a FULL Google Takeout which resulted in us completely running out of quota on EVERY product instead of JUST Reader.
Oh wait I wasn't sad about that, I was PISSED about that.

Let us all take a moment today to remember that 11 years ago Google Reader was unceremoniously shut down.
I still miss it.
Here's a photo of me from that day.
