webvan packs it in. ouch. there goes that money. thanks a lot, pete.

the los angeles times redesigned their website, and made it even easier for me to syndicate their content. i also started scraping their food section.

inside.com has more info about the redesign of latimes.com. one of the things they did is ditch all of the existing registered users because they couldn't figure out a way to transfer the user information between the old and new systems. nitwits. apparently they're also planning to charge for content, eventually. that will be a good way to get me to stop reading.

the interface for windows xp makes me want to start using crayons more often.
