Feed Icons - Help establish the new standard
Hmm yeah, good idea. So is this supposed to apply to Atom as well?
Oh, and am I a geek yet that I should be thinking about this stuff instead of like… being Christmassy?
Icons are good presents, methinks.

Testing Performancing… seems pretty neat. The account setup wizard was quite easy.
Ooops, I broke my own rule — I forgot to test Performancing with non-Ascii text.
That should do it.
Looks ok. But the markup that comes out of Performancing on the other side of Wordpress is kind of icky… not sure whose fault that is.
Some test content from the Unicode site: What is Unicode? in Simplified Chinese
什么是Unicode(统一码)?
Testing Wordpress’s Unicode Chinese support. Move along, nothing to see here! (Hi Viv .

This morning I took a walk in the small subdivision of London where I’m staying, and I had an odd experience.
A couple of people came up to me and asked to interview me — I said I wasn’t British, but they said it didn’t matter. So I figured ok, whatever.
So they show me this picture of what appeared to be a parliament meeting in Asia, which had devolved into fisticuffs. They asked me what it was, and I guessed it was Korea. They said it was actually Taiwan, and would I vote for those PMs if I were a constituent? Of course I said no, and when they asked me why, I said that parliaments were supposed to be about diplomacy, not fistfights.
They said something along the lines of “good answer.”
And then we made some small talk & they left.
And I felt weird, when I had a second to think about it when they weren’t pointing the camera at me. It was almost like I was fleeced — I had no idea how my statement would be used, what their viewpoints were…
I mean, they could have been Xinhua trying to gather “unbiased” foreign opinions about the Taiwanese government…
And that made me feel a little ill.
If I’m ever asked to be interviewed like that again, I won’t do it unless the interviewers tell me who they are, where the interview will be seen, and how to contact them.
Live and learn, I guess.
I’ve noticed a rather annoying trend on link aggregation sites like del.icio.us and digg.
Lists.
I mean, good grief, look at the top ten on del.icio.us/popular?new:
Digg too:
I don’t know why those bug me… something sort of sound-bitish, I guess.
are typography people so arrogant?
Really, they are.
