> Darren Barefoot: Mack and his friends have started BlogosphereRadio.com:
Thank you for visiting our website! BlogosphereRadio.com is a website devoted to the intersection of blogs and Internet radio. We strive to live up to our tagline as the voice of the blogosphere. BlogosphereRadio.com is run by university students in Edmonton, AB, Canada.
I've got a personal interest in plugging them, as the first episode of Blogging With is an interview with me on our upcoming blogging conference, Northern Voice. If you want a get-drunk-quick drinking game, take a shot every time I say "um".

> Phil Windley: Have you ever interrupted an HTTP download and then restarted it later and had it pick up where it left off? That little bit of magic is the result of RFC3229: Delta encoding in HTTP. This is useful for more than just resuming downloads. Jon Udell, for example, uses this trick to access a small part of an MP3 file and its also the secret sauce in mod_speedyfeed that I mentioned yesterday.

> Rob Bender: Thank you to the Transportation Security Agency for protecting us from such dangerous terrorists as Penn Jillette, Ted Kennedy, Bea Aurthur and Cat Stephens. I feel safer already.

> Jake Savin: As I mentioned before, I put together a slideshow on DVD for our wedding. We gave a copy to everyone who came to the reception instead of some silly favor that people would just leave behind. I put up a copy for you to watch online in case you're interested. The people who attended were quite moved, though if you don't know the people in the photos, it might not have the same effect on you. For your viewing pleasure, here it is, as a QuickTime movie (29MB), and as an MPEG-4 video (14MB). The QuickTime movie is higher resolution, but if you have a slower connection, I recommend the MPEG-4 version.

Among the new features are searching, flagged items, persistence, tabbed browsing, smart lists, search engine subscriptions, script subscriptions, enclosures, built-in styles, and more. (Here is the entire list of changes.) Both full and Lite versions can be downloaded from the NetNewsWire Betas page.
