Geeks are lazy in the good, time saving kind of way. I’m a geek and I’m always looking for more efficient ways to do things. Since I discovered the new Google Reader I’ve never looked back (sorry Rojo). My favorite feature of Reader is the short cut keys which has nearly removed the need to use the mouse (YES!).
However, I still wasn’t satisfied. I wanted to recline and read my RSS feeds rather than being hunched over the keyboard. I wanted to remote control all that Google RSS goodness. Enter Romeo which allows you to control your Mac through a bluetooth equipped cell phone. I’m still pretty ghetto with my Sony Ericsson T610 but it works like a charm! I can sit back and control Reader one handed.
I’ve attached the Google Reader Romeo Script to this post. Try it out, it’s not complete with all shortcuts but it works well enough for how I use it. Enjoy!

nice! i’ll have to whip up my own Bluetooth HID for my Sony Ericsson Z710 hybrid (w/W710 firmware)! nice!
Interesting that this post got linked on the Google Blog and my views went up like 400%. That was pretty fun to see.

Anyways, quick note. Looks like Google Reader had a minor update today with some smarter scrolling. Using my T637 (thought it was a T610), I find it much more comfortable to hold the phone UPSIDE DOWN.
This allows the screen section to sit firmly in my palm. More leverage, less tired thumb. Try it. :)
