Believe me, I am a Web designer. The reason why this page looks so odd is because you're viewing it in a browser that doesn't support Cascading Style Sheet positioning. It doesn't work in particularly old browsers. However, if you scroll down, you'll find all my content. Don't let this site fool you, I've designed plenty of sites that work in older browsers, this was just my first step towards what is the future of Web design.

Quick RSS observation

Tuesday | November 6, 2007 | 1:35 pm  

It seems Feed­Burner is having some issues today.

So at lunch today, my usual but infre­quent time for perus­ing my too-​large sub­scrip­tion list in Google Reader, I was only able to read the full entries on about 25% of the blogs I read. It appears that their link redi­rec­tor (and recorder) was not work­ing for me… so URLs such as this wouldn’t work.

Not knock­ing Feed­Burner but a couple of observations:

  • The Inter­net is all about not cen­tral­iz­ing and it’s more robust for it
  • With Feed­Burner becom­ing a cen­tral source for RSS feed serv­ing, it becomes a pretty crit­i­cal piece of infra­struc­ture for a lot of folks

Noth­ing ter­ri­bly insightful…
