From Hacking Netflix: TiVo Netflix RSS Reader Bitrazor.com has created a Netflix RSS reader for TiVo users. Not sure how easy it is to install (I don’t have a TiVo… yet), but it looks very cool: screenshots. Has anyone with a TiVo tried this? I haven’t, but will definitely check it out. Seems very cool.

We had our second Hackathon last week, where us non-programmers handle the support desk while the code jockeys create more cool stuff to add to the product. The results are really cool — if you’re using FeedBurner, there’s bound to be a few cool wins in there for you to enjoy. Nice work to the…

Josh Marshall’s TalkingPointsMemo turns five years old today. TPM is the rarest of blogs: it often contains original reporting and it enjoys widespread respect among the mainstream media. Most importantly, Josh has done a great job staying on top of stories that don’t always receive a lot of initial attention, only to see them blossom…

Tom Skilling advises today that more tornadoes are possible, and that they often happen at night. Three days ago, a tornado ripped through southern Indiana, killing 22 people. This graf caught Robin’s eye: Authorities said that sirens blared in many of the communities and that the emergency broadcast system was activated to alert people to…

So the earlier reports of his appearance on the Daily Show being cancelled were premature… turns out that both host and guest wanted to make it happen, so they’re doing it via satellite tonight. Won’t be quite the same, but will still be fun to see our Senator on America’s finest fake news show.

Looks like Zogby had a few interns that needed a project to keep them busy: in the world of fake politics, it would appear that Matt Santos is going to spank Arnold Vinick whenever West Wing airs its election. Sunday’s live debate should be fun. But do we really need this: Immediately following Sunday’s live…
