Feedster and rssSearch merge
This merger of two RSS search engines happened nearly two weeks ago, but I missed it. I think Feedster was a one-man band: “Although Feedster admittedly started as a “Wouldn’t this be cool technology experiment”, Feedster is now a real business…” rssSearch, admittedly, wasn’t much bigger, but interesting to see an idea move from hobby…

Giraffes [1]
From a quick visit yesterday afternoon to the San Francisco Zoo, two giraffes (click thumbnail for full-size image). About time I added an image here, although it will be rare. When family goes home, I won’t have time for so much noodling around here.

Are voice and brand compatible?
Was pointed to this Amazon blog via Scripting News. Made me realize that Amazon, like Google, really is anonymous to outsiders. I don’t know if this is deliberate, and it is common at big companies, in general (including my own, to some extent), but it’s refreshing to get any look ‘inside the curtain’ at companies…

Ambrose is not all that
Mark Johnson opines that Stephen Ambrose is the “Michael Jordan of historians“. Since his comment system appears to be broken (but isn’t, I’ve learned, so my initial post is there twice — Mark, fyi), I’ll post my response right here: Doesn’t the fact that Ambrose has done a bit of plagiarizing bother you? (one report…

Catching up
By not doing work work, I’ve caught up some with home stuff. At least, the stuff that was on my list, like updating the kids’ websites and finally upgrading to NetNewsWire from the Lite version. I’m on vacation, in name, anyway, so it should be more like this — although newborn != vacation. My sister…

GeoURL working, now for GeoTags
Oddly enough, there didn’t seem to be a map interface to the info. There is for each individual site, but not in aggregate.
-
Location, location, etc.
Working to add GeoURL information to the site. If that works, then I’ll do the GeoTags equivalent. Why? Why not!

BOOK: Life of Pi
I’ve made it to the next book in my stack, Life of Pi, by Yann Martel. I’m slowly getting into this book, which was passed on to me by my wife. Turns out it’s not just highly recommended, but (I learn from the website) a Booker Prize winner. I’m glad I didn’t know that when…

A Sunday that felt like…
A run, a nap, and two games of chess (well, sort of) with Benjamin. And no work tomorrow. Not bad. Of course, little sleep coming tonight. Can’t have one without the other. I’m saving all sorts of interesting links for later perusal, but I don’t have time to spend in front of the computer to…
