RSS, flickr and del.icio.us on a Mobile Phone
Roger Whittaker writes to tell us Engadget reports that Mobileglu is offering an interesting new service that gives users the ability to read RSS feeds, flickr, del.icio.us, and other sources of content in a mobile friendly format. Think this will lead to smarter content developers making their own sites more mobile friendly, or just a few lawsuits?
I have never aspired to become a speechwriter, politician, or mainstream political columnist. Nevertheless, if you can look beyond my pitiable writing style you'll surely see that I have something important to tell you about the guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator. The nitty-gritty of what I'm about to write is this: Knowledge is the key that unlocks the shackles of bondage. That's why it's important for you to know that if the guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator can't stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen. I cannot believe how many actual, physical, breathing, thinking people have fallen for his subterfuge. I'm thoroughly stunned. The guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator's memoirs have caused widespread social alienation, and from this alienation a thousand social pathologies have sprung. Before I move on, I just want to state once more that the guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator's most progressive idea is to replace law and order with anarchy and despotism. If that sounds progressive to you, you must be facing the wrong way. The guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator and his factotums are blossoms on the upas tree of paternalism. You may have detected a hint of sarcasm in the way I phrased that last statement, but I assure you that I am not exaggerating the situation.
It has been said that vexatious degenerates have traditionally tried to piggyback on substantive issues to gain legitimacy for themselves. I believe that to be true. I also believe that I can't follow his pretzel logic. I do, however, know that the guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator has recently been going around claiming that his revenge fantasies are a breath of fresh air amid our modern culture's toxic cloud of chaos. You really have to tie your brain in knots to be gullible enough to believe that junk. What I find frightening is that some academics actually believe the guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator's line that ethical responsibility is merely a trammel of earthbound mortals and should not be required of a demigod like him. In this case, "academics" refers to a stratum of the residual intelligentsia surviving the recession of its demotic base, not to those seekers of truth who understand that there's a time to keep silent and a time to speak. There's a time to love and a time to hate. There's a time for war and a time for peace. And, I claim, there's a time to put inexorable pressure on the guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator to be a bit more careful about what he says and does. Or, to put it less poetically, I want my life to count. I want to be part of something significant and lasting. I want to shield people from the guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator's insincere and infantile deceptions. Particularism has served as the justification for the butchering, torture, and enslavement of more people than any other "ism". That's why it's the guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator's favorite; it makes it easy for him to grasp at straws, trying to find increasingly cold-blooded ways to ignite a maelstrom of prætorianism. I had a brief conversation recently with some frowzy mafia dons who were trying to advertise "magical" diets and bogus weight-loss pills. That conversation convinced me that implying that the guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator should burn books because "it's the right thing to do" is no different from implying that he can override nature. Both statements are ludicrous.
It's irrelevant that my allegations are 100% true. The guy who complained about Scott Pakin's automatic complaint-letter generator distrusts my information and arguments and will forever maintain his current opin
