Lifehacker Feeds For Your Every Whim (Almost)
From September 17, 2008 @ 6:00 am
I’ve been trying to comb down the noise in my feed reader lately and one of the feeds that I still wanted to be aware of but didn’t want to have to process every day was Lifehacker. Awhile ago, Gina Trapani (Note: For some reason her site is down at the moment…) had published on Lifehacker a collection of different RSS feeds that you could subscribe to if you wanted some more catered content, however I have had terrible difficulty turning up that collection in numerous attempts to search for it (BTW, if someone knows the URL for that feed list, please send it to me). However, recently I discovered something that is possibly better and probably has been posted numerous times elsewhere, but… whatever… :)
There are numerous ways to filter the content in Lifehacker. You can click on the category link at the top of the post, you can filter by author, etc. However, the tip I’m going for works with any of these, I think, because it’s a URL trick.
Once you filter the site the way you want to (say, by clicking the Highlights Tag) and the URL in the location bar has changed appropriately, simply append index.xml to the URL and, ¡voila!, you have your new feed to be added to whatever reader you choose.
Of course, if you want finer tuned control, you could go all out with Yahoo! Pipes, but that’s another story for another day I think.
Enjoy!

Preview of Firefox 3.0
From November 09, 2007 @ 1:37 pm
If you’re anything like me, it feels like Firefox 2.0 came out yesterday. But, it turns out that it’s been more like a year. Wow. Since that time, the development community of Firefox has not been silent. Coming soon is Firefox 3.0. Over at Lifehacker , they’ve posted some screen shots of the new Firefox 3.0 for the world’s perusal.
Enjoy!
