look, I've invented the wheel
Ok, I've hacked Cheesegrater into somewhat reasonable shape, I'm generating RSS feeds for a few different sites now, and I'm feeding them into LJ. (Thanks for the extra points, Brad!)
Astronomy Picture of the Day | apod | I wish this one had the pictures inline, but they name the image files non-predictably, so that would be expensive. |
Die Puny Humans | diepunyhumans | Warren Ellis |
This Modern World | modrnwrld_comic | The comic, from Salon. |
This Modern World | modrnwrld_blog | Tom Tomorrow's blog (I had previously added another feed of this at thismodernw_com that gets parse errors; it probably ought to be deleted.) |
The Straight Dope | thestraightdope | Subjects only, not article bodies. |
Examiner Bondage Files | bondagefiles | Goofy news stories. |
Wil Wheaton | wilwheaton2 | This is a full feed; wilwheaton only has the first half sentence of each entry. |
True Porn Clerk Stories | pornclrkstories |
If you know of other sites that I ought to be reading 5x/day but am not, please let me know. Maybe I'll hack those into Cheesegrater too.
BTW, I notice that a lot of people are subscribed to dictionary_wotd; this can only be because they don't know about wordoftheday, which is the same thing, but with inline definitions.
Update: Added redmeat_rss and webster_wotd and space_com
