I just had my first experience clicking on a link to install some software and groaning when I realized it was Windows-only. Oy. The Mac is (dramatically) prettier, more colorful, has nicer hardware. But developers still make software for Windows without doing Mac versions. Before today that was someone else's problem. Today it's mine too.

This is the song Mike Arrington needed to hear last night after some guy tried to wheedle a better review from him. I wrote him a long email that basically amounted to the message of the song. No one is entitled to a good review on TechCrunch. Mike doesn't even have to be right. That's what makes him Mike, and that's why we read him. Because it's his opinion. If I wanted to hear some random guy's opinion, I'd ask the random guy. ";->"

Another interesting OPML feed, this one is dynamic, in that it changes every day to point back in time to Scripting News on this day in 2004, 2003, 2002, etc.

Seattle Mind Camp is a camp-like event, following in the tradtition of BarCamp, and this weekend's TagCamp in Palo Alto. They have an OPML feed listing the RSS feeds of the participants, which I've included in the Community Directory in the right margin on Scripting News.
