Shashwati asks why I chose to work in one of the most earthquake and typhoon prone regions on the planet. One good reason is that they are much better prepared for these things here than anywhere else. As the following map shows, the East coast of Taiwan is a regular battering ground for just about […]
NPR Podcasts [Feeds]
After wasting an afternoon figuring out how to set up Audio Hijack to automatically record yesterday’s All Things Considered, Fresh Air, and Marketplace so that I can listen to them on my iPod, I found out that NPR is going to start offering free podcasts! (Along with the shows they already offer fee podcasts of […]
delicious for:you [feeds]
Have an interesting link you think I’d be interested in? Tag it in del.icio.us with the tag “for:kerim” and I’ll see it when I look at http://del.icio.us/for. Not only does this have its own RSS feed which I can subscribe to (I already have), but its private so nobody else will see that you’ve sent […]
Subscribe via E-mail
In the early days, my blog was actually an e-mail list sent out to a group of friends and family members. Then I figured out how to post everything on the web, but I kept the old e-mail list via a service called Bloglet. Unfortunately, that service never worked reliably, and I still get occasional […]
Anthropology Journals via RSS [Feeds]
Very exciting. I just discovered via a discussion on Golublog that CiteULike provides RSS feeds for a number of anthropology journals, including The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute and History and Anthropology. It isn’t clear how they are getting these feeds - it look as if they are simply collecting various CiteULike posts and […]
isbn.nu [Feeds]
I haven’t posted anything in my “Feeds” category for a while - mostly because people seem to be catching on as to how useful RSS feeds can be. However, just today I learned about this handy new feed from isbn.nu. Although my favorite site for comparing book prices is addall.com, they don’t offer RSS feeds. […]

Following Joi Ito, I am going to quote David Weinberger’s post in its entirety. I’ve really become interested in the way tagged meta data works (see this), and this post contains lots of useful links:

Metadata without tears
Peter Merholz, AKA peterme, has an excellent article at Adaptive Path called Metadata for the Masses:
But what […]
Mac vs. Windows
I generally try to respect the fact that the vast majority of my users visit this site using a PC, but I liked this comment from Brent Simmons, developer of the amazing NetNews Wire, in a recent online discussion about RSS on the Mac. The moderator asked the developers why there are so many RSS […]
Feedless
I’ve slowed down on posting regular updates about things you can do with RSS. This is partially because most people who are prone to trying out new technology are already familiar with RSS, and also because there are a host of good sites now devoted to the topic, such as the RSSWeblog. Most new things […]
Books as Blogs
I recently posted about how the diaries of Samuel Pepys were being released as a blog. Well, today I discovered a bunch of other sites releasing books or diaries as blog entries, one day at a time:
Ulysses
Da Vinci’s Diaries
The Diary of a Nobody
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
Finnegans Wake
Animal Farm
Blog entries from Henry David Thoreau’s diaries
Some of […]
