the queue

Things that I'm about to read, but haven't yet. (Using my blog to bookmark later stuff):
Technorati generates a listing of the most-blogged items on Amazon.
StandAlone RSS aggregator for PalmOS (though Plucker seems to do a similar thing for free with HTML)
O'Reilly Conference notes: Why tech/dev/research teams need more women on them.
