Ego Boost
Wow, since my last posting my Feedburner stats have gone from 2 (not counting me) to 11! (again not counting me). You’re all making me feel obligated to include some more original content … oh, alright, I will.
Now with fewer features!
Steve Dembo made a suggestion, so I decided to follow through. Let it never be said that I fail to cater to every person’s whim! So what am I talking about? I now have a “lite” RSS feed consisting of just my irregularly scheduled rants. Or, if you so choose, you can subscribe to the …
