For the legions of readers out there reading this through an aggregator - I've updated the XML feeds for both this site (feed) and Willi's (feed), thanks to the code from etc. and pointers from Jason and George...The feed now includes full posts, images and comments...If you're not using an aggregator yet - you should start...Browsing the web on a dial-up becomes a much less painful task with one...
I use Syndirella - which isn't being updated anymore - and really I see nothing wrong with the current version, except for a scrolling bug that just turned up...but there are several alternatives...
George also provided the pointer towards a wonderful essay on Whitman by The Atlantic's David Brooks:
"Whenever I hear people say something stupid about America, which is often these days, I want to punch them in the nose and hand them Walt Whitman's 1871 essay "Democratic Vistas." The punch would temporarily stem the flow of idiocy, and the copy of "Democratic Vistas" would give them some accurate sense of what the United States is all about."
Breathalyzers to prevent drunken blogging? Sure - I could use one -- but I wouldn't want to see anybody else use one -- as sometimes the funniest stuff is being written three sheets to the wind.
