You just have to realize how busy life can get. Besides, we already have another web project that takes up any free time we have. I can't just spend all my time bullshittin' about going to the ___ or the ___. There's life to live, and life waits for no one. Life just keeps moving. So you better move your ass, too, or life will move on past you, and the next thing you know you're thinking of diving off cliffs and stuff--and not into the water.

No, this is not a cry for help. Help is beyond. We're already in the thick of it--we're in, we've gone way up the river, there's no turning back now--and we're strong and certain and going to do our best, even if it kills us. You may not hear from us for awhile, but we may check in now and again. Keep listening to the music, since that seems to be our focus at the moment (when it comes to free time). And yes, check back here--even as I type this, I realize how fun it is to blog here. So check back from time to time. And email, or comment (click the link below).

Don't forget to share your OPML, you stingy bastages!

If it's not clear what I'm talking about, don't worry, you're just a few years behind the curve. OPML provides a way to share stuff...and don't you just love sharing? Sure you do! As do I, which is why I'm sharing this information with you!

So ask me about OPML, and I'll give you a layman's explanation. In other words, I'll explain what I can, as clearly as I can. Sometimes it's easier for someone like me, the people person that I am (ha ha), to explain a technology which may seem confusing as hell when you encounter information about it on Wikipedia or elsewhere. (Don't know Wikipedia? Well, ask me about that, too!) Just don't mistake me for an expert; I'm no expert on OPML. I've been tinkering with the technology a bit, though, and perhaps more than you. I have alot more to learn about it myself. But still, I can help get you going.

Again, why do you want to learn about OPML? Because it's all about sharing. And that's a general good. So don't be a Grinch; ask me about OPML, or share your OPML, if you already have it. If you don't trust me, or if you're ready to bypass my wisdom and dive right in to learn about this new and interesting sharing technology, visit OPML.org.

Comments:

Done! It also seems that you and Steve Garfield are both subscribed to one of my old feeds that used to include some advertising (which I stopped using). Here is the feed that you should be using.

One thing that I "wish" the SYO site would do is create a link to download other people's complete OPML files.

Yes, I just subscribed to that particular (old) feed yesterday. (You're referring to the OPML feed, right?) I was looking for your most current OPML feed(s)...
