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.

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.

He has turned on me, and I don’t know why. He’s going on and on about Panama City Beach, the spring break spot in northern Florida where Bay County sheriff’s deputies arrested him three years ago on charges of racketeering, drug trafficking and promoting the sexua...

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.
