RSS timezone problems

Jowi pointed out that my RSS feed would behave strangely with NetNewsWire. All my posts register as being 8 hours into the future. If I posted something at 1pm, it shows up 9-ish on the reader.

I’m using the Atom 2.0 spec and while my time-stamp syntax is correct – the reader doesn’t seem to handle it correctly. This is really irritating because is only evident with my Atom 2.0 RSS feed – the pages in the site itself still display the right local time.

Thriller!

What if Michael Jackson was Indian.

Now if that doesn’t make you want to stick a fork up your ass, I don’t know what will. I particularly enjoyed one of the comments:

Regarding Mr. Laporte’s push for renaming podcasts

This particular “move” has already been known for a while, but I thought I would comment on it today because I had nothing else better to do. For those who don’t know what I’m talking about

Leo Laporte wants to rebrand podcasts as ‘netcasts’

If you’re a TWiT fan (or a listener of almost any of Leo’s other 200 podcasts), you might have heard in the past couple of weeks that he’s pushing to change the term ‘podcast’ to ‘netcast.’ He’s even gone so far as to start using it in his lingo on the shows (at least on the few of his shows I can keep up with), and is looking to trademark the term. Now before you run off and flame TWiT’s forums, just hear the man out – because I think he has a good idea.
