Is Microsoft Moving Too Fast Or Too
Slow? 05/03/2004 03:50 AM
Microsoft just can't win. After taking quite a beating (deservedly so) for their software's flaws, when they decide to stop pumping out new operating systems at the same rapid pace that caused many of those flaws, they get criticized for moving too slowly. It wasn't that long ago that similar articles were screaming for Microsoft to stop just releasing new operating systems every few years and, instead, focus on fixing what's already released. That's basically what they're trying to do (successfully or not), and the thanks they get are people trashing them for taking so long to get their next operating system out. I don't think there should be any rush for them to get Longhorn out, if they can actually get XP working better. People don't need to jump operating systems every two years.

River of News

River of News 06/05/2005 11:08 PM

Looks like the screenshot< /a> of the "Surfer" newspaper style linked in my previous post has received some nice c omments, so I thought I'd talk about how it came to be.

Dave Winer recommends that RSS aggregators adopt a River of News approach to displaying information, and I have to admit that it is a nice - and fast - way to scan items from many feeds. In fact, it's similar to how I use FeedDemon.

As I've written before, by default FeedDemon acts much like an email client simply because that's how most people are used to receiving information, but this isn't how I use FeedDemon at all. Instead, I scan the headlines of an entire channel group of feeds. When I see something that looks interesting, I'll read the first sentence or two of the article, and if it continues to hold my interest, I'll either read the entire article or copy it to a news bin so I can read it later.

I think more people would use FeedDemon this way if I made it simpler to do so. Right now, those starting out with FeedDemon often don't realize that they can radically alter the way information is displayed by choosing a different newspape r style, so I decided to create a new default newspaper style for the upcoming FeedDemon 1.51 that contains a number of different display options.

As the screenshot shows, the new "Surfer" style will enable you to change how items are sorted and grouped, and you'll be able to toggle between full, short and no descriptions. You'll also be able to collapse groups, and even launch links in a separate tab within FeedDemon. Plus, you can choose to copy an item to a news bin directly from the newspaper, which is great for link-mavens like myself.

My preference is to show short descriptions, which are generated by FeedDemon itself - basically, a short description is the first sentence or two of an item's description with all HTML tags except hyperlinks removed. This makes it easy for me to get an idea of what each article is about without having to see the entire description. Although others have recommended doing away with any grouping of items, I personally like grouping items by channel (feed). I want to know the feed an item belongs to because it sets the context for how I'll interpret it (for example, if a headline is from Boing Boing, I'll think about it differently than if it's from The New York Times).

Getting this all to work required enabling newspapers to "communicate" with FeedDemon itself, so I'm afraid it can't be used with existing versions of FeedDemon. However, we're planning to have an alpha release of FeedDemon 1.51 before too long, so I believe the tease is only a short one:)

Tavelland River Table

Tavelland River Table 08/20/2004 08:05 AM

You know that Frank Lloyd Wright house that has the creek running through it? Think of this as the Brooklyn version of that, except instead of building a house over the sewer drain you just get a fancy table. Plus it's not designed by FLW, but Oliver Beckert, and it's not exactly a one-of-a-kind. If you've got the $4,300 or so to purchase this "Tavelland" table, they'll be happy to build-to-order one for you by hand. The 'river' flows across the surface of the table continually, but it doesn't say how deep it is - or how many fish you could get in there.

In this AP photo shot near a Japanese fishing town, fishermen work on a boat full of just-killed dolphins, as a diver prepares to submerge into blood-filled water. Link. Update: There's debate in the blogosphere over whether or not this image may have been retouched (i.e., Photoshopped or digitally manipulated in some other fashion to make the water appear redder). See MeFi. AP distributed the photo, but cited Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (an organization protesting dolphin killing in Japan) as the image's source.
