in my quest for the ultimate homepage/rss aggregator

some pages that i found useful:

discover the best rss tools and resources on the web
the ultimate rss toolbox — 120+ rss resources
14 personalized homepages compared, feature by feature

++

i also finally found a way to read sd cards in linux. it was pretty easy, actually, with the help of the thinkwiki page. and i also download a program called xnview that seems like it will allow me to do unix-style mass-editing on images.
