I've recently decided to retire the excellent but slightly flakey app launcher extraudinaire and more Quicksilver (which has now gone open source) in favour of the new beta and slightly less capable Google Quick Search Box.

I didn't realise Palm were releasing a phone
Looks like they're back from the 90's and build quality has got a whole lot worse :-P

iPhone Google Reader massiv
Mobile web browsers have come a long way since we first introduced an XHTML version of Reader back in 2006. For example, iPhone and iPod Touch owners know how powerful having a full-featured browser is. We on the Reader team are heavy mobile Safari users. Sometimes we use it to kill time, other times for answering important questions that come up during brunch: What is Tyrol's first name? How is maple butter made? How do you sweeten rhubarb for sangria? What is John Gruber saying now? For questions like the last one, we of course use Reader to keep up with our subscriptions. #
I can confirm that the new iPhone Google reader interface is indeed rather awesome.

Full fat feed and then some
I have been experimenting with my feed along with my Yahoo Pipes and have created a couple of full-on feeds. One of these (RSS Feed) combines my site, Tumblr, Flickr, Google Shared Items and Twitter; and the other (RSS Feed) is exactly the same but without Twitter updates (you might, amazingly enough, not want to be bothered by my nonsense). Though I've been tempted to replace my main feed with one of these (the sans-Twitter one probably) - I haven't done yet.
I'm not sure how popular this might be but I'd certainly like to see a few people combine their myriad of sites/feeds into one easy to digest place.
Note
that I have changed the feed and RSS links to point to the Feedburner versions so I can more easily keep a track of them all. Feel free to visit the Pipes site though and clone them, but please use the Feedburner links if you plan to subscribe.

No need for DF authenticated feeds
There's no need to use Yahoo Pipes to access authenticated feeds # for Daring Fireball as John Gruber has now made all feeds publicly accessible. Though if you're a DF member then you may still want to try Yahoo Pipes as the DF public feeds have ads.
For now, the members-only feeds continue to work, unchanged. As stated above, however, this experiment with an open-to-all full-content feed is as much for the benefit of members as it is for non-members. By far, the single most common request for the member feeds is to find a way to make them work with Google Reader. This is it. #
Yes, sort it Google, where's our authenticated feeds? You should be ashamed that Yahoo have come in and plugged this gap.
