Home thanks

Web Services, people, software providers, writers and resources who have made this weblog more useful. A long overdue category... plus resources to never track of... First things first: this is not for "public consumption" this feed is raw, unedited bits of news gathered from the Web, direct quotes from savy bloggers. This is not meant as a weblog... noooo.... this is my personal treasure chest of knowledge... That said, I'm NOT WRITING it. got it? It's not for review or anything else... I'm hoarding it to a space on the web where I can go back and find it. Why, you say? : stupid computer, stupid browser, stupid bookmarks can't track this stuff like a Radioland feed can ... and having it on the web is so useful. Previous/Next

Happy New Year! Taking the next few days off ...

In the spirit of the new year, here's a free random quotes database I've been squirreling away for the past year. Every time I see a worthy dog or animal quote, I stash it here:

My random dog quotes

Right click on the link to download it! Radiolanders can use this script by Peter Backx to implement their own random script.

In studying the traits and dispositions of the so-called lower animals, and contrasting them with man's, I find the result humiliating to me. -- Mark Twain

Robert Scoble just donated his revised and improved Radioland template to the community...


oops, I blew it: Webpages that suck, by Vincent Flanders, didn't nominate Dog News for a webpagesthatsuck award... phew... I'm so relieved... but, ahhh, I am so wrong too. He actually threw Dog News a link! Hurrah for Vincent, who actually lives by the principle of giving credit, even for something as small as a joke!

and that's not something I'm used to. I'm used to the dot.com industry ripping off my entire news content like rabid dogs, without my permission. For example, Dog Images,  Rufruf.com (offline for now), and NW Agility are all blatantly republishing this feed with abandon...  Any dot.com for-profit site that rips off our content will get nominated for the webpagethatsuck award... If you want to use Dog News content, please read the Creative Commons License for this site and abide by it. If you are a not-for-profit organization which benefits animals and people, you MAY definitely republish this feed or any other content you wish. I know you will provide a link back. Rescue people are a better breed:

If people were superior to animals, they'd take better care of the world. -- Winnie the Pooh 

Giving credit where credit is due:

  • Any web design mistakes on this site are DEFINITELY mine and I should immediately get thrown in the dog house for them. Every stupid boo boo is my doing. I need help.
  • Any web design you actually like and admire is NOT my doing and I paid for the work by Joe Jenett, who does all kind of clean web design and programming, including other weblog tools. 
  • All the cool features of this site are built from the Radioland Community who gave their code and advice so freely. For example, a new idea which enhances the reader experience: share your opml subscriptions list by Dave Winer. I'm trying to upload my Feeddemon subscriptions plus my Radioland subscriptions.
  • Radioland is my favorite program on my computer, because it's extensible, reliable and it continues to evolve.
