ex machina

blogger's got rss?

hmmm. so i just have to toggle this little preference thingy here to get blogger pro-enabled rss?

well, i guess so. don't link to it though, because i'm surely going to fiddle with it. nice. it lets you select abbreviated descriptions and it doesn't syndicate posts without titles, which i actually like. but this would confuse you because it looks like this post doesn' have a title, but that's just because i haven't included it in the template, silly. it's there. honest.

maybe i might have to think about ditching my homegrown syndication feeds? and now i have another excuse to rant in grumpy-old-man style, "well, when i was young we didn't have nuttin'. nope - none of this automated syndication crap. we had to build our own. that's the way it was and we liked it." uh-oh. i just noticed that it doesn't strip html from the post, but only escapes it, which will wreak havoc on aggregators. maybe the kind folks at blogger could implement a "strip html" preference?

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
