So, I have this conversation about once a month at work:
Boss: I don't understand RSS.
Me: Well, (attempt at another metaphor/comparison/explanation).
Boss: I don't get it. I'm not saying it's useless, but I am saying it's useless.
Meanwhile, I've been working on another project for a research center. They needed a way to work on collaborative documents with 20-30 people but not have to worry about versions forking and with check-in check-out. After pounding my head against the wall trying to find an open-source versioning software setup for, er, the tech-disinclined, I was out of ideas. That is, until I read my RSS feeds Monday morning, and here's Jeffrey Zeldman talking about Writeboard. Writeboard allows multiple users to collaborate on text documents without any forking or people running each other over. And it's free. Problem solved... by an RSS feed!
RSS useless? Hell no.
New York Police Commissioner says information received indicated subway system may be target of a terror attack "in coming days."

WTF am I supposed to do with this.
I'm sure this has nothing at all to do with Karl Rove's upcoming indictment.
Vote republican, bon bon. And be afraid.
I have long suspected that public warnings of terrorist attacks are like Red Sox fans saying "Just wait, they'll start sucking any minute now." You speak it as truth so that it won't come true.
Of course, this thesis rests on the assertion that preparation against terrorist attack is tantamount to crossing one's fingers and rubbing a rabbit's foot, but, welcome to Bushy America.
Look, these terrorist threats are why Harriet Miers should be a Supreme Court justice! Do not question the will of our Fearless Leader!
I can't help it if I'm just so darn kissably HOTT.
If I had any idea where to find your various photo sites, right now I'd post about a jillion pictures of your lips. You have the most absurdly kissworthy lips I've ever seen. The fact that those lips come attached to a snarky blonde editrix who wears a cherry-print dress like no one else? Such a gift with purchase.

I have serious Bobby Flay issues. I hate him.
Ever since he showboated on Iron Chef, I have loathed him personally.
Unfortunately, the food he cooks on IC looks really really good, even by IC standards.
My DH still mocks him, standing on a chair and exclaiming "Whoop! Raise the roof, yo!"
I know I've mentioned this before, but one of my brother's life goals -- this is my bro the chef, by the way -- is to kick Bobby Flay's ass.
I must be the only member of Buffista Island who has not kissed Tep.
I have not kissed Teppy. I think that we decided that the Stephanie2 was too much for this reality.
I think reality would have folded in upon itself.
I wouldn't be as trusting of a specific threat to NY if it came from the feds, but Bloomberg owes nothing to the White House. He's barely Republican as it is.
I am just hoping my grandmother did not hear that "news".
WTF am I supposed to do with this.
Carry a cup of coffee with you. If you see someone suspicious, ask him to hold the coffee, and then call the subway cops.
