Defeating Overwhelm
I’m putting this link here mainly as a reminder to myself.

Electronic Arts In a Nutshell
Penny Arcade has this to say about the “Evil Empire” tactics of Electronic Arts (click the image for a larger version):
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Original Mini with 220hp Honda VTEC Engine?!
I’m in love with a car. This car:
My dad knows I’ve long had a thing about the original Mini, and he sent me the link to this article at Car & Driver where they take my dream car for a test drive. This thing is just flat insane, and it’s even in my favourite race-car colour! As Eric Cartman would say, “Kick Ass!”
There’s Something Funky with the RSS of Scoble’s new Linkblog
[Updated Below] I just tried to manually subscribe to Scoble’s new linkblog in NewsGator, but I received the following error message:
—————————
Error loading feed.
—————————
An error occurred loading this feed. Please check the URL and try again.Details: The URI prefix is not recognized.
—————————
OK
—————————
That sucks.
Of course, then I tried to click directly on the link to the RSS feed, and NewsGator dutifully subscribed to it. Why the heck couldn’t I enter the URL manually?
[Update] It struck me as odd that NewsGator subscribed to the feed when I clicked on the feed’s link, since I expected to see Firefox’s standard XML display of an RSS feed. Then I remembered that some people have been championing the use of the feed: protocol prefix to denote RSS feeds. Sure enough, that’s how this link is set up. So it looks like an update is in order for NewsGator, to fix this little gaffe. [End Update]
Anyhow, it’s nice to see Scoble’s using the very gorgeous Kubrick theme that I love so much. What’s not so cool is that he’s not crediting the design anywhere on the main page. The stock template has a link to Michael (the author of the theme) Heilemann’s Kubrick page in the footer which it appears that he’s removed. For shame, Robert.
