@timelliott – I’m real anxious to listen to them (and some Talk Shows, and @gapingvoid’s latest, and an EconTalk). # "may", "might", "could" are words that belong in fear-mongering propaganda….not Public Radio news reports. # @timelliott – 65 feeds may not be as arbitrary as you think, @cullect reading lists feel best in that area …

Where Did I Rant About Truncated Feeds?
Mark and Ed pulled me into a web advertising and truncated vs. full feeds conversation. Neither Mark nor I can find any writing/ranting I did on truncated feeds (these days I’m ambivalent – unsubbing is easy enough). If this rings a bell for you, can you put a pointer in the comments. Thanks.

Minneapolis Muni Wireless Coming Soon to St. Anthony Village?
Considering I’m a couple blocks in either direction from the Minneapolis city boundaries, I’m amused to see this ‘Coming Soon’ network in my available network listing – while sitting on my sofa. I’m guessing this means the Phase 5 Build out is on schedule for Feb 2008 completion.
Cullect.com – A Shareable Reading List for Each of Your Interests
We all have different facets of our personality – if only work and family. The things that are relevant and interesting for work are off-topic for family. It’s an national election year, so I bet a you’re tracking politics more closely than other years. Again, a separate facet or mindset. Sometimes distinct from the other …
