I upgraded one of the Macs in my house to Tiger last Saturday and it is really great. My favorite thing at the moment is the RSS reader in Safari. I have a folder full of RSS feeds (blogs, news, etc.) in my bookmark bar. Safari puts a number in the title to this folder that tells me how many articles have been added since the last time I looked at them. It is really nice and much easier to see what’s new in lots of different areas. Much nicer that using Firefox or an external RSS reader which I’ve done in the past.

Dashboard, Spotlight, and lots of other things are also really cool about 10.4 but Safari RSS seems to be the thing that I am going to get the most use out of.

Someone at MIT has posted information on a Time Traveler Convention that they are having. I’m not all that convinced that time travel will ever happen but the whole idea is rather interesting.

The main idea of the site is that if the convention is publicized enough then time travelers from the future will have heard about it and will be in attendance. A very cool idea and I’m doing my part in publicizing, just in case!
