If you hear things repeated enough and from different sources, they grow into self truths, and next thing you know you help to spread them. In a week it is an Urban Legend. It’s interesting to see how some new tools can help poke holes in folk tales.
Have you ever repeated the old adage that [...]

No Need to Click Here - I’m just claiming my feed at Feedster
Update:
WTF with Feedster? I’ve had an account there since they’ve been out but their “MyFeedster” interface is acting like bad alpha software- the change password form uses Text input fields rather than password types, it does not process the change request, it does [...]

Bad News: Has anyone at Google actually googled the RSS 2.0 formats? They have taken a weird approach to the format, double listing the title and publication date items inside the description! Okay, technically it meets RSS 2.0 rules, but functionally, it is doing [...]

I rarely listen to the radio anymore, about as much as I can endure is some public radio during the morning commute, and I have not listened to a music station in eons. So since I have been enjoying my iPod Shuffle, I’ve been curious about options to use it as a player in my [...]
