About Me

Semi-retired technology (originally) entreprenuer living in Seattle with my partner, Michael, and our three cats: Barnum, Bailey and Buster.  Currently mostly on hiatus from technology; exploring new things I couldn't when I worked full-time.  And...continuing my love of all goods baked. 

About this Website

Musings on things that interest me: the stock market, personal and enterprise technology, pop culture/entertainment as well as my family and other general observations in my daily life.  Also, this is the place to find out more about our charitable foundation and what non-profits we are currently supporting.

Full website RSS feed available

In case you want a full RSS feed of all pages of my website, it is available now (of course you can still just subscribe to individual pages if you want or look at my twitter feed since all posts are transmitted there as well) . 

I needed a web service to accomplish this and wanted to make sure it was one that was going to be stable and stick around.  There are a number of services to combine RSS feeds into a single feed, but all of them seemed like they were just experiments that at any point could just disappear (Take FeedBlendr for example).  I did find that Yahoo had a service called Yahoo Pipes.  Certainly that would have been stable, but many people said it was difficult to use.  Then I found that Google allows you to combine feeds into a group if you use their Google Reader product.  Since I do use Google Reader to read all my RSS feeds, this seemed a no-brainer and it was super simple to use.  

In Google Reader you just put feeds you want to combine into a folder and then create a "bundle" from that folder which is publicly shared.  The only challenge I had is that the feed didn't seem to be standard RSS, but there was an Atom feed link so I used that since most readers understand RSS and Atom.  Voila!
