Andy Ihnatko's YELLOWTEXTThe weblog of Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times and Macworld tech columnist.Full Feeds for Yellowtext- February 12, 2007 I got an email today from a Concerned Reader who pointedly asked why I don't put the full text of my posts in Yellowtext's RSS feed. He's not the first, he surely won't be the last, and I'm talking about it here on the blog because it's something that I've been seriously mulling over recently. 1269 words in article.http://www.cwob.com/yellowtext/yellowtext0207.html#11552 And a doorknob that doubles as a Purell dispenser- February 12, 2007 Just like the desk-sized machine in Dayton, Ohio that keeps the rain from coming down all purple like it used to in the days before steam power, Genius is something that should be left running 247.

Busy, busy, busy. During the first half of the week, I'm usually "working on columns" busy, but for the second half, I'm "working on books" busy, which is far, far worse. It's one thing to be walking a mile in shoes filled with broken glass. During the second half of the week it also feels like my Odor Eaters have been soaked in lemon juice. 478 words in article.http://www.cwob.com/yellowtext/yellowtext0207.html#22506 Pull Of The Astronomer Monday!- February 7, 2007 "Phil!"

But repair crews in two bucket trucks have been working their way up and down the street all morning, like a couple of brontosauri grazing in a territory with no natural predators. And that's just as good. 170 words in article.http://www.cwob.com/yellowtext/yellowtext0207.html#10385 A Broken Heart For Every Light Pulled Down In Boston- February 1, 2007 This post is for Doug, a composite character who, in my mind, represents everybody who's posting about the Aqua Teen Hunger Force kerfuffle: 1630 words in article.http://www.cwob.com/yellowtext/yellowtext0207.html#70118 |
