  • RSS Tricks

    I like RSS. I tried reading a newspaper the other day and it was unfulfilling. I had to read too much and got not enough. The articles I care about are all two weeks old in print and there's not very much information anyway. Here's a page that lets you stretch the power of RSS past headlines. Some of them don't seem terribly useful like email or contacts, but look at this Google News Arrested Delvelopment Feed. That's pretty cool.

    Update
    Holy crap. You know that 2 hour 4 episode block of Arrested Development that Fox is going to air on Feb 10? Guess what its up against. Um... The 2006 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies. I'm excited and fearful. For me, there's no question what I'm going to watch. I'd stay inside if it was raining 3 dollar cupcakes to see the last of Arrested Development. But I've recently come to grips with the fact that I have no idea what the rest of the country is thinking. Would they seriously plunk down and watch the Ceremonies for 4 hours? And even if they do get curious during a commercial, will watching the last episode make any sense; will they appreciate it this late in the game? Oh goodness. Alright, I'm going to go buy another copy of season 2 cause my disc 2 is missing. Hey, extra DVD sales can't hurt, right?
