Napa Valley

a few weeks ago my sister came to visit me in CA and we drove up to the vineyards in Napa Valley.  fine wine, delicious food, and good times.

Newsable goes live

My friend Rob Adams has released a new web based RSS aggreator:

Newsable: Ready to Rock!.

It is, after all, Rocktober.

I've just unveiled Newsable 0.8 beta to a breathlessly-awaiting public (this public, in case you were curious, consists of Kerry and Jordan), thus marking the first release of my web-based news aggregator / modest experiment in merging open source and usability.

... there are many opportunities to get involved with improving Newsable even if you aren't interested in writing Perl code (unlike the majority of open source projects). Please email me if you have any ideas for improvements...

Happy reading!

Rob, here's my next suggestion (after you get OPML import working :).  When a reader signs up for an account ask if they have a weblog.  If they do make it easy for them to subscribe to their Technorati link Cosmos. Nothing encourages bloggers more than know someones listening.
