Happy 30th to me

Today’s my birthday 🙂 If you’re noticing a de-volution here at my site recently… well coming up on September, the month that never ends, must be screwin’ with my mind a bit. Maybe this calls for a visit to the 7 Deadly Sins, 7 Heavenly Virtues site.

Actually, I do have something deeply personal to post about faith within the next couple of days, as we come closer to the 15th.

A little too presumptious and heavy handed

That’s what Jon Bon Jovi said, on WMMR today, it would be if they attempted to write songs from the perspective of a widow. There *will* be music inspired by 9-11 on “Bounce”, their upcoming album. It’s more along the lines of dusting yourself off after taking a hit. Not an exact quote – but you get the idea.

I think you can get the feel by listening to “Everyday”, a new song from the album. It rocks. It’s an anthem.

Here goes news about this Thursday.

The Gone and Forgotten RSS Reader – Carmen’s Headline Viewer

Recently I reminiced about Carmen’s Headline Viewer. A really cool desktop RSS reader from back in the day (4-99 to 7-01!). Doesn’t work so well now that the spec has changed, and it’s no longer being updated. Booting it up, after so long, was rather surprising. For code that’s over a year old, it’s highly competitive. Update: Ben Hammersley remembers Headline Viewer in the Guardian. Thanks Shelley.
