Just a quick test of my settings for the RSSolve blog in my preferred blog editor - Performancing for Firefox. I reviewed this plugin a while back in my Flash blog: here and here.

Added here for the sake of convenience, this brilliant Grazr widget was created by Marjolein Hoekstra. An account of its construction can be found on her most informative blog, CleverClogs.

I am a Multimedia Architect, specializing in Flash/ActionScript/XML based UI/UE and software application design, prototyping and development. I live in Seattle, WA (USA), where it rains occasionally - so, we drink coffee. When I am not writing code or reading about writing code, I am playing disc golf with friends or hiking in the woods with my wife and kids.

While not entirely new to the world of blogging, this is my first foray into the world of RSS and the various syndication tools and technologies behind blogging, podcasting and (as we are starting to see) a fascinating array of ‘Web 2.0′ applications. The impact RSS has had in the past few years is undeniable, and we are only just beginning to realize its true potential. It is this potential that I find so exciting and which has ultimately inspired me to formalize my research here in this aptly named blog - RSSolve. It is my intention to use this blog both as a platform for ideas and commentary, and a launching pad for my continuing exploration of this technology. I will also do my best to support and promote the work of my peers in this field and offer my sincerest gratitude to all in advance for the shared knowledge and patient advice I will undoubtedly depend upon going forward. Thank you!

And now, if you will excuse me, I need to find some plugins and widgets to spruce this place up a bit.
