Give your pad some geeked-out style with square Lamp Shades from Meninos.
Options include an F1/F2 shade, a metro map shade, optical illusion shades, a pig shade, an RSS shade, and even a CMYK shade.
Plus, they’re simple and chic so you don’t need to worry about where you put them or how to show them off. Just hang them from the ceiling and be done with it.

Times is “a new type of newsreader for Mac OS X Leopard”.
Instead of treating your RSS feeds like emails, Times is designed to present them like a newspaper, with headlines and photos from a variety of sources to guide your way.
Like a newspaper, Times allows you to separate feeds into their own areas, create pages for different subjects, and more.
Times also shows the entire article within the program, and formats them all the same for easy reading.
Ready to give RSS a try, but aren’t quite ready to give up your newspaper just yet?
Then Times just might be the perfect solution.

RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is “a family of Web feed formats used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines, and podcasts”.
The main reason people use RSS is that it allows them to subscribe to sites that they like, and then view that site’s content without actually viewing the site itself. This can be a huge time saver when you’re following a large number of different sites, and allows you to automatically receive new content when it’s available.
For an impressively clear explanation, check out the following video:
To get started with RSS, you’ll need an RSS reader. Many people either use Google’s free online reader, Google Reader, or any of the NewsGator products.
Next, you’ll need to find RSS feeds to subscribe to. Most of your favorite sites probably already have them, so just keep an eye out for the RSS symbol:
If you’re using Firefox, check the address bar, as Firefox automatically looks for an RSS feed and places the RSS logo in the address bar if it finds one.
Once you click on that symbol, you’ll typically be taken to a site that allows you to select your subscription options. It shouldn’t take more than a few clicks, and then you should be all configured and ready to go.
(If you haven’t already, be sure to subscribe to the DYH RSS Feed for all of the latest and greatest DYH content.)

After NetNewsWire decided to stop selling its program and to instead just give it away, NewsFire must have gotten jealous, because they’ve just announced that their program will be free as well.
Since NewsFire has no online component, and thus, cannot use your data in any way (NNW went free in exchange for your attention data) I’m not exactly sure how NF plans to make money, but where there’s a will, there’s a way, right?
Either way, there are now two fantastic players in the free desktop RSS reader game, and that’s fantastic!
