Dave Winer's weblog, started in April 1997, bootstrapped the blogging revolution.

2 Brothers Pizza on St Marks Permalink.

A picture named pizza.jpgIt was freaking cold today, so I stopped in at 2 Brothers Pizza on St Marks Place. It's a small store, open to the outside. No door, no front window. A huge pizza oven in front.

The place is frigid, so you leave your jacket on. They give you a $1 slice and you go in back and sit down. You can take your gloves off cause the pizza keeps your hands warm. And the pizza is very very very hot. Delicious too, I might add.

After finishing my first slice I got another. Just $1 per. Excellent.

Memolane is sweet Permalink.

I created an account on Memolane (my username is davew) and added a couple of my feeds, the one for Scripting News and my linkblog feed.

And this is what it produced. Now there's something you don't see every day -- a new way to view RSS.

Click through for a full size shot.

However, I then added Flickr to the mix and now my timeline goes all the way back to 1965 (I have a Beatles picture from back then). Nice, but how to scroll to the present day? Not obvious.

But it's nice to see something truly innovative with RSS.

And it's pretty. :-)

PS: I found the global timeline at the bottom of the screen. So I was able to get to the most recent stuff.

PPS: Zach Seward likes it too. :-)
