Well, Google has this new thing called Google Gears which converts Web Apps (think Google Docs) to offline applications, and I like this because sure MS Office is the best Office software, but sometimes (like tonight) I use Google spreadsheets for making lists, as it’s safe in case the computer goes missing or I need to access the list from another computer, as I typed I looked up Google Gears and the first hurdle was that you MUST use Firefox for Mac if you want to use Google Gears, the second hurdle is that there are no Web Apps except Google Reader (an RSS feedreader) that use Google Gears, so for experimentation, I installed Google Gears, went to Google Reader.
Google Reader has been written about by Styleygeek at his blog, and its a good post, but my observations of it include:
But is it better than Vienna?
The recent transformation of computers (specifically Macs) enable us to store our every thought, every speech and our travel and family videos for sharing with the world and also for posterity, sorting these and backing these up are the biggest hurdles to making this a worthwhile activity.
Always remember to Backup everything! And Publish and be damned!

PBS is one of the only TV stations that I like to watch, the Nova shows are really good, as are the documentaries.
Tonight I watched ‘Hold Your Breath’, a story about an afghan man with a very sad story. you can find more about this show at http://holdyourbreath.com
Somebody called Sarcastic Gamer has redubbed the audio on Microsofts Promo Video into this hilarious spoof video, Funny!
RSS is the greatest thing to come from the interweb since email, this tutorial tells you a lot more about RSS, but what I’m writing about here is Vienna.
Vienna is a great RSS feed reader or ‘Aggregator’ for Mac OS X, it’s got a clean UI, supports RSS and Atom, a Built in browser, supports smart folders, folder groups, import and export, scheduled refresh, flagged articles, reading panes, styles, unified layout, article filtering, blogging integration, condensed layout, whew!
The thing is, I’ve got thirty RSS feeds subscribbed to in Vienna on my MacBook, but my Power Mac’s Vienna has only 10 feeds, so today we’re learning how to get the same rss feeds in both.
Vienna has export. so we can simply export the feeds from thhe MacBook and import them to the Power Mac, there will be one missing function and that is syncing, a great article on macsimum news points out how syncing between RSS readers can occur, the caveat: you must use NetNewsWire which then uses .Mac to keep your feeds synced across computers;
“The only thing missing from Vienna is syncing, and that’s not a major problem for me anymore. I used to use NetNewsWire and it was able to use my .mac account to sync my feeds between my 12-inch PowerBook and my iMac at the office. That meant I didn’t have to sort entries twice. But the syncing was erratic at times and when I got my 17-inch MacBook Pro, I was able to use just one computer to read my feeds and Vienna fits the bill quite nicely.”

For me, I’ll export my feeds from the Macbook and import them to the Pwer Mac and that should work fine.
No Posts in ages, but good things come to those who wait.
I got the privilege today of visiting the wondrous Rubin Museum of Art in New York at 17th street and 7th avenue.
It’s the only Museum in the world dedicated to himalayan art, and founded two and a half years ago by Donald and Shelley Rubin. You must visit it when you come to New York.
