… on this entry in my Technorati search for “FeedBurner”: I mean, it’s probably just because whatever site is responsible for this is using FeedBurner.jp. But I’d really rather not know.

OK, dear readers… time to collaborate. Let’s rewrite the lyrics to Aerosmith’s “Janie’s got a gun” to “Cheney’s got a gun”. Original lyrics here. Update: Not only am I not original on this go-around, it turns out someone did this years ago. Details here. Heh.

OK, this is goofy (and didn’t we already do this once with Blogshares?) — courtesy of Mike Arrington at TechCrunch, I just signed up for AlexaDex, a “stock market” of websites based in part on the Alexa site rankings. I bought 9 shares of FeedBurner, because, to borrow a phrase from the guys at Long…

Well, my sincere apologies to those of you who read this site in a feed reader… a combination of Movable Type database hiccups and my own inept attempts at hacking the system resulted in a disaster in my feed.

I just got word that I’ll be talking at next month’s Politics Online conference at George Washington University. Predictably, I’ll be talking about podcasting, RSS, and how they can be used effectively in politics. I’m excited, not least of which because this is about as perfect an intersection of my job (RSS, podcasting) with my…

File this under, “If I can do it, you can do it”: I created my own piece of FeedFlare to add a little functionality to my feed tonight. The API documentation is fantastic, so if you have even rudimentary familiarity with programming, you should be able to cobble something together. Mine simply adds a permalink…

A long-overdue update to my post from a couple weeks back. I noticed a few glitches with the copy of WeatherBug that CTO Chris Sloop handed out at Gnomedex last summer, and blogged about it. Sure enough, Chris called me (one of the many reasons I put my cell phone number on the site) and…

Forgot to note that I registered for Gnomedex 6 last week. Very excited to be going to Seattle again this year. Who else is going?
