The Strange, Explicable Appeal of Train Dog. By Megan Garber The initial joy of the thing is visual: dog head, train body, the proportions of both wildly, delightfully amiss. Art critics might see, in Train Dog’s awkwardness, a bit of sprezzatura—the beauty and nonchalant e...

Dave Winer puts out a call for others building tools that support RSS and especially inbound RSS:

If you’re working on a social web app that supports inbound and outbound RSS, I’d like to help, so our products can interop beautifully. That’s the reason I’m doing this work, to establish a baseline for interop in the social web. RSS is the obvious candidate. If we didn’t have it, we’d have to invent it.

I’m actually not aware of any social platforms that support inbound RSS except Micro.blog. It would be great to have more.

Another beautiful remembrance of Om Malik, highlighting his photos on Glass:

It’s not lost on us that Om’s photography, often taken in frozen lands in or around the arctic circle, was the polar opposite of his personality. While he focused on subtle shapes and hidden landscapes, he was the sun of any group he was in.

If you're working on a social web app that supports inbound and outbound RSS, I'd like to help, so our products can interop beautifully. That's the reason I'm doing this work, to establish a baseline for interop in the social web. RSS is the obvious candidate. If we didn't have it, we'd have to invent it. I'd much prefer doing the work openly, so if you can, write a post and send me a link. I think it's time for us to go back to the way we built network systems before Google and the VCs took over. Put up an app and see who works with it. My email address is on the About page on my blog.

Programming tip. If your app has globals, create an object called globals, and put all of them in there. Someday you may want to swap in one set of globals for another, this makes it easy.
