Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there!

Movie Roundup
We’ve been seeing a fair number of movies lately, so I thought I’d post some thoughts here. I’ll probably be spoiling some of them, so only click the “More” link if you’ve seen them. The movies I’m writing about are The Hulk, The Italian Job, Terminator 3, and The Core. You’ve been warned.
RSS Comics Feeds
“Tapestry is a series of RSS feeds for online comics.” Very cool. I’ve just subscribed to a bunch of them, now I’ll get the day’s comics delivered right to my computer automagically! Update: Forgot to give credit to Jake at UtterlyBoring.com for the link.

Ebay RSS
This site has implemented the idea I previously wrote about and is generating RSS feeds based on custom eBay searches. Very nice. (I can’t lay claim to giving them the idea, only that they had a similar idea to mine.) Via Scripting News.
Traffic
When I originally wrote the Matrix Name Generator, I always thought in the back of my mind how cool it would be if the thing took off in popularity, but I never really believed that would happen. Yesterday, the 9th, traffic on my site jumped from around 1500 hits per day to over 41,000 hits… Continue reading Traffic
