More good stuff

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Reading Ben Hammersley led me to the just released NewsMonster which is yet another news aggregator! I might have to give this one a try. It works with Mozilla and uses Java, so it will work in any OS, and it claims to render most major news sites, even if they don’t have an RSS feed. It also caches full articles for offline reading. We might have to give that a try on the laptop to see how well it works.

Picked up from Dave, is Microsoft getting into the Blog-tool business? Anyone know more about this “Community Starter Kit”?

    News items while I wonder when Blogtrack will be back online, and wait for Dave Winer to get better and back to blogging: Put a fork in AudioGalaxy, they’re done, to no one’s surprise I would think.

  • Geek gift.

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    The one actual geek gift I got for my birthday this year, much to my surprise, (because my parents usually steer clear of buying tech stuff) was a wireless/CF card for my Axim. They picked up the Ambicom WL1100C-CF. Installing it was pretty easy, it found my AP right away and after a little configuration,…
