Is it weird that I measure my "coolness" factor by how long I've been an rss subscriber to certain websites? Every so often I compare myself to other public users of bloglines. Earlier this week my rss feed to Gothamist stopped working. I just now checked out their website and, whoa, there's a new rss feed. Maybe it's not new to them, but it's new to me.

I'm sort of sad about this development because it means I'll be deleting the old rss info and abandoning my status as someone with a public bloglines subscription who has followed Gothamist via rss since December 5, 2003 (second oldest!).

I really believe in having a public directory of my rss subscriptions and sometimes I get a little value out of checking out what others follow, especially if they read the same things I do.

I now define "coolness" as the middle-aged person I am. Look! See what I was following years ago when I was sort of current with modern technology! Check it out, I haven't changed the way I've been doing things in almost five years!

Perhaps I'm in this slightly wistful mood because of the email Apes sent last night pointing out one of my first online endeavors (hosted at erols.com).

• Overheard in New York | Wait! -- Let Me Put on My LL Bean Jacket and Try That Again
  I want to move to a foreign country where it is legal to just go around recording everything and then listen to a podcast of "overheard" material. How fantastic would this post be if it had audio?

A week ago Alex gave me lip about not designing my own iPhone applications. He told me the Marc of 2000 would've designed his own iPhone apps. Definitely some truth to that statement. Today's achievement is a zillion times smaller!

I have figured out how to move my delicious links from a sidebar to a daily collection in the main blog. You are, like, totally stoked about this, aren't you? Going forward, you'll see my one line statements about attendance at Nationals' games and the greatness of Alan Sepinwall in the same column I post a half dozen vacation photos every three months. (And did you like how in this one paragraph I went from talking like a bad early 80s surfer to a bad mid 90s business dude?)

This is huge, folks. Huge.

Last week I got an iPhone 3G. A few of my friends have iPhones. A few of us just started having a discussion on email, but I thought I'd move the conversation here so others can jump in. What applications should I have? What can I ignore? Have at it in the comments.

My free game of choice right now is Cubes Lite.
