Nü Blogs

I've come across a few noteworthy new blogs lately: first up is Jeff_Solomon.Blog, which is written by one of my oldest friends (by which I mean in terms of years known, not age). His blog runs the usual geek gamut, with his own unique spin on things.

I was surprised to discover that Harvey Pekar has a blog. I mean, I guess his comics have been a graphic blog for years, but with the American Splendor movie coming up, his blog should be pretty entertaining. It's actually a group blog, with his wife Joyce and adopted daughter Danielle contributing as well.

Sadly, neither of those two sites has RSS feeds that I can find, which means I'll have to remember to check them manually. I have a hard enough time remembering to read Roger Avary's blog, let alone three, but I'll manage.

Lastly (and this one does have an RSS feed, since it's on LiveJournal) is from my brother-in-law. His journal is what you would expect from an angst-ridden teen, so consider yourself warned.

As for this here site, I've added a small new feature which should make deciphering the XML icons on the left hand side a bit easier for newcomers to syndication. It's a little snippit of JavaScript taken from Karelia Software, the creators of the excellent OS X utility Watson. I've tweaked it a bit for my own use of course, but the idea is the same.
