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.
Last weekend at the San Mateo Fairgrounds in California was the 2nd Annual Maker Faire, it was an incredible array of art, robots, craft and geekery. I loved it and have CameraGirl to thank for the tip off! Pogo came along on Sunday and I recorded quite a lot of it on DV, so today I’ve edited my favorite part of the faire for your viewing pleasure, you should find my video of the Tesla coil demmonstration which doesn’t do the coil justice as the ffeling when you’re standing next to one of these is INCREDIBLE.

The Guardian has a great article here that gives the background to Munch’s ‘The Scream’ and the robbery in 2004, it also discusses a theory about whether the robbery was an attempt to distracy the police from a serious robbery and murder case that they were working on nearby.
Leaks from Cingular indicate the iPhone might start at $299. Wow, they’ll sell like hot cakes at that price.
