- Horrible Google Reader UX finally made me plunk down $10 for Reeder for Mac. It's quite good. I only want more hotkeys, like "go to top".

- Ah theodicy, you make people say the most ridiculous things. People don't even consider what they're saying, as long as it sounds pious.

- Damn it Twitter. The amount of jumping around your new web interface does makes it impossible to click on anything.

- Why did you decide to go with Python instead of Rails for the Goodsie project?
  
  Primarily because we have more in-house Python/Django talent than Rails talent. Also, implementing Goodsie in Django meant that we could reuse a decent portion of the code from Flavors.
