Speed thrills

With Safari, this blog loads almost instantly. That kind of ends the browser vs. browseer game for me right there — on OS X at least.

A sphere of ends

Check out Janes' Blogosphere, by David Janes. He describes it to me as a "web based aggregator and search engine for blogs that works against RSS feeds and a large number of scraped blogs."

Pretty cool.

Here's the one for this very blog, and here's a search for its author.
