Far be it from me to be a [nattering nabob of negativity](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiro_Agnew), but in all the Web 2.0 euphoria (I hate that name, BTW), let’s not forget about graceful degradation.
Let’s examine the discussion between Web 2.0 and Web 1.0 in regards to errors like this:
**Web 1.0:** What is this?
**Web 1.0:** Where did you get this?
**Web 1.0:** Where did you learn about this kind of thing?
**Web 2.0:** [Filled with teen angst] I learned it by watching you!

Coming to you from the “stupid dialog boxes” genre of blogging:
Just read [a great post on the differences between being a programming and being a manager of programmers](http://blog.eod.com/post/18462877).

It seems FeedBurner is having some issues today.
So at lunch today, my usual but infrequent time for perusing my too-large subscription list in Google Reader, I was only able to read the full entries on about 25% of the blogs I read. It appears that their link redirector (and recorder) was not working for me… so URLs such [as this](http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/subtraction/~3/180365460/1105_manhattan_in.php) wouldn’t work.
Not knocking FeedBurner but a couple of observations:
* The Internet is all about **not centralizing** and it’s more robust for it
* With FeedBurner becoming a central source for RSS feed serving, it becomes a pretty critical piece of infrastructure for a lot of folks
Nothing terribly insightful…
By day, I'm a product manager serving a group of fantastic engineers at Square.
By night, I fight crime and solve mysteries with a robot pal of my own creation.
By midday, I like a snack, generally a cookie.
Part of this biography isn't true (hint, I like cookies and engineering, I don't own a robot)
