Bernie Parent was already a Flyers legend when he retired from the NHL in 1979. It's the rest of his life made him a Philadelphia legend.

The Hall of Fame goaltender, who won consecutive Stanley Cups with the Flyers in 1974 and '75, died Sunday at age 80. The Montreal native spent a decade with the Flyers, then stuck around the Philadelphia area for the rest of his life; he was a ubiquitous presence at Flyers events, on local TV, at charity auctions, down the shore, et cetera. Shoot a hockey puck anywhere in the Philadelphia area over the last 45 years and you might’ve hit Bernie Parent.

A new doc for RSS nerds. WordLand is an editor for WordPress docs, which then of course appear in RSS 2.0 feeds. Each WordPress site has a feed, but WordLand has a shadow feed, with a few additions and differences which I document here for the first time, with examples. The main reason is I wanted to use Markdown as the default format for text in WordLand, and also wanted to be able to use it for linkblogging, which is not possible as WordPress feeds are defined. The idea is that you should use the WordPress feed for most things, but if you are using a reading app that understands Markdown, you should subscribe to the shadow feed, and if you are doing a linkblog, you must use the shadow feed, or the links won't be transmitted, kind of obviating the purpose of a linkblog.
