A barely passable article (here) for the uninitiated. It’s, like 4 paragraphs and glosses over the majority of the details, concentrating on the “news” aspect. Still, if you know nothing about RSS, it’s a start. It directs you to the information areas from the largest providers (Yahoo’s and Google’s) and makes no mention of my favorite reader, bloglines.com

Seen Cringely’s article on legal music sharing (here)? Doubt it would stand hold up in court but it’d be fun. Got a few million you’re not using?

The guy that loaned it to me needs it back so I’ve gotta let it go. Sure has been nice, though: 15″ screen (beeyootiful!), 768M RAM, 667MHz PowerPC G4, OS X 10.2.6, AirPort, Office X. And I was just starting to learn the inner secrets of the underlying Un*x implementation, too. Oh well, maybe someday I’ll have one I can call my own.

Came across this site while browsing bloglines.com top feeds. Looks like you can have it create an RSS feed from a site that doesn’t already provide one. It’s been in operation since sometime last year and it’s still in beta but it looks good to me. So far I haven’t created an RSS feed. Maybe one of you would be interested?
