feeding trough

Blogger has begun offering their own RSS feed through Atom. I have changed the XML link to the appropriate new file, and I want it to work, but I'm not sure how many aggregators currently support the format. Tim's BottomFeeder (crossplatform) should be fine, but FeedReader (Windows) and NetNewWire Lite (OS X) don't like it a bit. Funny that I wrote and asked Blogger Support about this just days ago; more funny still that the out-of-the-box solution they provide doesn't appear to adhere to a universal standard.

Update: BottomFeeder likes Blogger's Atom feeds just swell. NewsMonster should, too.

One more thought: Blogstreet allows people to make their own feeds for /any/ blog. So if you've got some slacker who hasn't updated with a feed yet, you can use it on theirs.

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
