I love a good rant. "No," you say, "not you! Why, you're a paragon of friendly friendshipdom and shizznit."

Behold The Bile Blog from a guy who obviously knows his way around the Java community and is able to inspire great reaction in his readers. I'm also putting him in the blogroll so I won't forget to check his page daily. Hooray for hatred and loathing!

Oh dear sweet Jebus ... this sounds like great hooting fun.

In yet another fine example of other people thinking of things in a completely new way, Erik Benson runs a service called All Consuming, which displays a running list of the most talked-about books in a (large-ish) subset of the blogosphere. He also wrote an article for O'Reilly explaining how he built the whole thing using SOAP, XML, and RSS. It's quite an interesting story, I opine.

BWA-hahahahahah! Rand Simberg lets Bill O'Reilly have it with both barrels. Woo hoo!

Finally, the online world catches up with the real world. New icons for MSN Messenger.
