Just found that Dwell magazine has a blog.

Ooops! A pseudo-blog. No feed.
Dwell: Get with the program.
UPDATE: Apparently it does! There is an RSS graphic at the bottom. But that’s not the feed link. Oh no!
You have to click the image to go to a page that has the page that has the RSS feed in [...]

After a couple of days vacation, the FeedBurner feeds are back.
I bought the domain forwarding option from Wordpress.com (http://crazycanuck.org/), and then waited. I reactivated the feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/crazycanuck this morning, and you can start using that again.
Rick Klau from FeedBurner left a comment last night, which prompted me to try again.
Hopefully things will remain stable [...]

Welcome back?

For those of you in the US who are not blessed with a way to tap into the Canadian feeds from the World Cup, you are missing a real treat. And you know what the treat is?
Silence.
It seems that the announcers that Rogers SportsNet and TSN have recruited to cover the games know how to [...]

Reading anything using a feed reader allows prevents us from discriminating against the content.
Start with an inflammatory statement, then back it up, using the wisdom gleaned from Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink. Why do feeds prevent us from initial discrimination? Because we have no point of reference other than the text in front of us, and the [...]

Can’t read your feeds?

You’re not alone.
UPDATE:

Even the plumber is confused.

Yesterday I was on a call with a customer who flat out stated that 55% of their bandwidth was consumed by applications pulling RSS feeds.
