Here’s an idea to Apple’s foolishness. Let’s call it a feedcast. It is using feed technology (ie. RSS) to deliver audio, video and so on. Apple have been annoying me as a customer and as a user . Now they are annoying me in my role as a coder and soon-to-be-feedcaster.
Oh, and while we’re on the trademark trip - it seems that Mike Arrington owns the regex string “TechCru[.{1,2}]h”. Beware!
America. Home of the free, land of the overreacting bureaucratic shitheads. If you are an American, call your elected representatives and tell them that you’ll slice up their face with a razor blade vote against them if they don’t vote against HR 5295.
What an irritating old twat Charles Clarke is/was
I just dug up this little doozey from the unholy archive. Aren’t you so glad that Big Ears isn’t in charge of deporting undesirables or providing about the most philistine perspective imaginable for the post of Education Secretary?
That said, this article points up the thing I find most comical about politicans. They can go and invade a country and - in effect - sentence many of their citizens who are serving in the military to a fairly certain death. They can give only the lightest of wrist-slaps to Police officers who brutally unload bullets in to innocent electrians on Tube trains - and have the chutzpah to complain about violence on television.
There is too much violence on TV. And that’s because there’s too much violence in real life. Most of it is caused by politicians.
It’s not all bad news, folks. At least marriage is less valued by the State now than ever before. Here’s the thing - there should be no legal benefit to marriage at all. It seems that the government are going in that direction, which is to be applauded.
Women Who Think Too Much - sounds like a bullshit premise. “Stop thinking and everything will be just okey-dokey”. I suppose once you’ve got a doctorate degree in theology, you’ve got to do something and authoring wonky self help books for thirty-something yuppie women probably pays better than becoming a monk or a nun. Plus you don’t have to take a vow of celibacy or wear silly robes.
LiveJournal in Grazr
On Friday night, I built an mashup to get data from LiveJournal and turn it in to OPML - to display in Grazr and to turn in to a reading list. The reading list scripts turns out a simple list of RSS feeds for your friends - which you can use with a reading list compatible aggregator like NewsRiver or BlogBridge.
Just put in:
http://tools.opiumfield.com/livejournal/ -USERNAME- or:

I’m going to build something pretty to display all my mini-mashups.
