RSS is great.
i, like every other web-geek, can’t rave enough about its merrits.
but sometimes there is the danger of missing relevant information, if you dont actually visit a website at least every once in awhile. as its RSS-feed
at the beginning of 2005 warren ellis has let his cult blog diepunyhumans … errr … die

well, i should have don so earlier, because as i was extermly pleased to discover warren has switched to wordpress.
