My friend Todd has just launched a site called Subscribe or Die. We’re in the process of ironing out the bugs with the RSS feed. I think I’ve got it cracked, but we’ll see. If you subscribe to the Feedburner feed, you may see a few repeated items today as we fix the problems. Enjoy! “;->”
Ars FatBits has some pictures up of the black MacBook and discuss the glossy screen - well, shall we call it a “con” or is that a bit too much?
macZOT! are promoting a piece of software called Media Catalog. I just tried it, and it pretty much sucks on Intel Mac. Have a look at the CDFinder comparison chart. I’ve tried and purchased CDFinder, and it kicks arse. “;->”
Brent Simmons has some good documentation of the Newsgator system.
Valleywag has an interesting description of Dave Winer, Steve Gillmor and Marc Canter: “All like your crazy uncle the grown-ups found embarassing but the kids loved cause it made Thanksgiving all the more enjoyable.” Talking of Gillmor, has anyone thought of making him a Greasemonkey script that removes the hypertext functionality from his web browser?
Lee on the Republican tax policy: “So why didn’t they do it? Because they’re idiots, and so short-sighted they don’t deserve to be in power.

More family values bullshit. Hypocrisy and cretinism are the two most common family values.
