So here’s the deal. In dreamological order:
So I’ve been using this rss reader a lot. Aggregator sites are often horrible, so there’s no sense in looking for a web-based solution, at least I have never been satisfied with any… Even the desktop apps I’ve tried are trying. These are some screens from my playbook’s feed reader. It does a nice job in a number of ways. For the most part it should be obvious from the screens, the main screen has everything sorted by unread updates (with counts) and the layout on each feed’s screen is laid out attractively with content previews.
What isn’t shown is the article screen…it does a good job of cutting the page down to just the essential text, while maintaining online media and links. Javascript mostly won’t have any effect here, so like and tweet buttons don’t work, but links do dispatch the browser. I no longer read news on my PC—it’s just too cumbersome and websites contain far too much non-content these days. This has changed the kind of things I consume in a good way.
The point in all this is one I have been trying to articulate for a while now. Our dependence on the wrong technologies is affecting not only our experience but also our behavior—the things we do. I want to make this point even stronger but I am not sure how to convey the sentiment.

LOS ANGELES – May 8, 2012 – Ready for a mathematical, algebraic, radical time? D3Publisher (D3P), a publisher and developer of interactive entertainment software, and Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE) today officially announced the upcoming release of Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?!, a video game based on the popular Cartoon Network series, Adventure Time. This is the first Adventure Time video game that will release on the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system and Nintendo DS™ hand-held system late fall.
In the first licensed Adventure Time video game, Finn and Jake wake up one morning to find their trash stolen by the Ice King. Jake couldn’t care less about half-eaten bananas, crumpled up burrito wrappers, and old chicken diapers – but when they find out the Ice King is using their stolen goods to construct a Garbage Princess, the heroes embark on a fantastical adventure to teach him a lesson! Journey through the Land of Ooo in an offbeat adventure and discover perilous dungeons and unimaginable treasures, while playing as Finn and Jake in a unique action-adventure experience.
Working alongside the game’s developer WayForward is the series’ creator Pendleton Ward, who is designing a new storyline and quests for the game.
“Adventure Time fans have been asking for a video game to complement the series for some time, and we are working directly with Pendelton Ward, who has an amazing vision for the game,” said Peter Andrew, vice president of product development, D3P. “Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?! will be a fan’s golden ticket into the elusive Adventure Time universe and will capture the random fun and adventure we all love about the series.”
Adventure Time is the pop culture sensation, Emmy-nominated, top-rated show among kids, and its popularity continues to soar both on air and at retail. The series follows Finn, an adventure-seeking kid and Jake, his shape-shifting canine best friend, on their adventures in the Land of Ooo. The awesome duo save princesses, battle the notorious princess-kidnapper, the Ice King, party in Lumpy Space, fight in dungeons, and even befriend Marceline the Vampire Queen. Since the start of its fourth season, Adventure Time is the #1 program on Mondays on all television with kids 6-11.
