Methinks Nick Bradbury has redefined what RSS stands for – with his release of the first FeedDemon 2.0 beta. I, for one, would request that Nick not leave the house until he's finished coding that thing. I've already sent him a lengthy list of bugs and suggestions, and he's always listened to my feed(demon)back in the past. I've been a NewsGator user from the beginning, but I can forsee myself finally leaping from the Outlook client to a standalone reader – FeedDemon 2.0. Let me see how Nick responds to my list of “must haves” and feature suggestions – and then I'll make up my mind. Wow. Someone'll buy NewsGator based on this program alone.

Please, Showtime or ABC – pick up Arrested Development and market the show better than Fox did? There's an audience out there – and we've all been to Sacremende. We all want Oscar to do a podcast, too. This is some of the best writing on television today; few other shows have me laughing out loud with every episode, and I don't think I've ever seen David Cross (or Jason Bateman, for that matter) in a better role. It's a great story line, you have fantastic characters, wonderful actors, and an audience who loves the Bluth family. Fox obviously doesn't understand how good the show is – but the fans do. We'll follow this family wherever they go; I already have a Showtime subscription, but I'd pay double just to see more episodes of Arrested Development.
