I only noticed because my personal blog, my commercial site, and my feed reader all sit on the same server! ?

that’s true… but reallly funny!

Spotted in the wild - that weird new BlackBerry phone. Wow. People still use that stuff?!

I love and hate @aaronpk’s QuartzDB flat file implementation. It’s super fast and awesome when it works. Buuuuut every once in a while it makes me work! Worth checking out though for everyone who wants to role out a liveblog or somesuch.
