Pitchfork Feature: Interview: Portishead: Long interview with Adrian Utley and Geoff Barrow of Portishead. I can't wait for the new album, "Third" to be released.
Measuring his words -- 'The Word of the Lord Is Upon Me: The Righteous Performance of Martin Luther King, Jr.' by Jonathan Rieder: Review of a new book about Martin Luther King Jr. in the Chicago Tribune. The parallels drawn between Rev. King and Rev. Wright are intestering, but unfortunately not the focus of the aritcle.

Links for Monday April 7th, 2008
Hey, any chance I could persuade you to enable full content in your feeds? I pretty much live in Google Reader these days.
Hi Mike,
You're the second person to issue this request. I don't really know what I can do on my end, however. My blog supports both RSS and ATOM feeds, but when I fetch them with curl, I see the whole content in the feed.
In addition, when I view the RSS feed in NetNewsWire, I see the full content. I think that this might be a Google Reader bug.

Interesting... When I pull up your rss.xml in my browser, it definitely has the full content in it. But when I hit the atom.xml, I get the same truncated content that I see in Google Reader. Looking at the atom.xml source, it seems that Google Reader (and Firefox) is displaying the atom summary instead of the content.
Looking at what Google Reader got when I first subscribed to you using their "subscribe" bookmarklet, I had subscribed to your index.rdf, which is probably not what I wanted in the first place. Weird!
Anyway, I've switched over to explicitly subscribing to your rss.xml, and now all's well.
Yeah, the "index.rdf" thing is a hold-over from MovableType 2.x - I think that link should still work (at least I remember trying to preserve it when I upgraded).
Examining the ATOM feed closely, I see that the funky summaries that you are seeing in Google reader (and Firefox, which I tested) are contained in the "<summary>" block:
And the entire content of the post is contained in the "<content>" block. I suppose I could try to change it around (so that the "content" appears in the "summary"), but that might violate the ATOM spec. My guess is that everything is "working as intended" here, which is of course stupid - having the full feed in the RSS reader is totally the way to go! :)
-Andy.
