RSS on OS X

I am in love with RSS feeds. It (at least partially) solved one of the biggest issues of the internet - the large amount of information that comes out every single day. With RSS, you’re able to quickly scan tons of headlines.
On my Windows work machine, I use Firefox as my main browser, and I love the RSS implementation it has - I have my favorite feeds as Live bookmarks up there on the Bookmarks toolbar. On OS X, however, I use Safari as my main browser, and, to tell you truth, Safari’s RSS implementation sucks. So I’ve been looking for a good RSS reader for a while, and finally, I think I found it!!
The past couple of of days I’ve been using a RSS reader called Viena, which a friend recommended. Before this, I used Slashdock and tried out NetNewsWire, and this just blows them out of the water. Give it a try!!

Hello world!

Hi all!
Welcome to my blog!
Or should I say - Welcome to my third blog!!
Third blog you say? Well because of work reasons, in the past few months I’ve been blogging on two sites:

• My 64-bit blog is part of 64-bit Advantage, a joint program between Microsoft and Intel created to raise awareness for Windows on both x64 and Itanium 64-bit platforms. On this blog, I mostly discuss developments on the Windows 64-bit world, and also give tips on moving your programs to 64-bit.
• My other blog is on ArtinSoft’s website, my current employer. On it, I mostly blog about the activities in which I’m involved with the company, about migration software and technology in general.

Now, most of you will ask - why a third blog? Well, it turns out that I have some editorial limitations on those two blogs - one is fairly limited regarding the subjects I can post, and on the other one, even though I don’t really have any limitations on what I can publish, there are some things that I just can’t say on a company’s website. So, the solution to that is to setup my own personal blog on my personal website - here I can bash whoever I want, talk about any subject or technology, and just do one of my favorite activities - rant.
So sit back, and I hope you’ll like these random words hastly put together.
