Futilely attempting to build an RSS reader that’s not at all an RSS reader.

The year of the reader continues. This is wicked awesome. I want this reader!

There are some interesting UI pieces hiding in here. I love the way things are sortable by importance. I like the sparklines for posting frequency. The color differentiation to give an idea about recency of posts is cool.

And one of the best things is that it’s not really a reader. In true Kicks fashion, it’s all just links, which means that one goes to the original site to read the content. I mentioned just yesterday the fact that some of my “identity” is lost with the CSS and details of my site being stripped within sterile readers. This sort of reader decimates that.

Of course, the verso of that is a reader that could be CSS configurable so that every site looks as busy or crazy as mango zone does in the video. Naturally, many browsers support local CSS, so I suppose I could make the New York Times look like Kicks Condor’s site, but who has the time to do all that configuration?? (Maybe one day…) Maybe some readers will have their simple chrome, but pull in not only the content, but the CSS and visual goodness along with them? The best of both worlds?

Watched "The Newsroom" We Just Decided To from Netflix
Directed by Greg Mottola. With Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, John Gallagher Jr., Alison Pill. Will's professional idealism is put to the test with his new news team when they are first to cover the Deep Horizon platform oil spill.
I loved this show in 2012 when it aired. I knew there were problems in journalism at the time, but looking back this show was way more prescient than I could have ever guessed.

Thursday on the NewsHour, the abortion battle rages in Missouri, which recently passed a law banning nearly all abortions and is now trying to shut down the state’s only providing clinic. Plus: An unprecedented second Israeli election this year, the lost generation of Rohingya children, coastal crisis in Louisiana spurs a new kind of “army,” Now Read This and the missing of Navajo Nation.
The false flag reasons the anti-abortion crowd are throwing around for regulating abortion out of existence are simply painful. If they’re really concerned with saving more lives, they wouldn’t be using any of these tactics. Their logic simply escapes me.
Watched Wedding Crashers (2005) from Warner Bros.
Directed by David Dobkin. With Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Rachel McAdams, Christopher Walken. John Beckwith and Jeremy Grey, a pair of committed womanizers who sneak into weddings to take advantage of the romantic tinge in the air, find themselves at odds with one another when John meets and falls for Claire Cleary.
Another movie that needs to be watched regularly. Hilarious. Well-plotted. Well-cast. Lots of heart.

Something in this neighborhood about tummellers might be interesting.
