Greedy for RSS

I downloaded NetNewsWire--the 30-day trial version--and for a while there couldn't stop browsing RSS feeds. I like NetNewsWire much better than Bloglines, for whatever reason (just an easier interface, I guess), though Bloglines has the advantage of always being out there, no matter what computer I'm using.

I am unfortunately finding my paltry collection of some 374 as-yet-unread headlines inadequate for my browsing purposes, and have taken to staying up late nights previewing through my "bookshelf" for more interesting feeds to add. There are many sites now doing RSS, yes, but not nearly so many as I would like. A good many of my favorite browsing spots seem to be lagging behind the times. I want automatically generated crossword puzzles, movie and book reviews, Amazon sales....too much to ask?



Meanwhile, here's a dolmen, much like the Poulnabroune Dolmen I saw last year outside of Galway. I'm posting this one here as a visual reminder that I'm not in Ireland right now, nor am I likely to be any time soon. However, I did at least notice that you can resize these little goodies by grabbing their corners. Nifty. We'll just see if the formatting works when it's all published...

And it DOESN'T. Okay, why bother including the option if it's not going to WORK?
