My friend Russell went to Web 2.0, and sat next to a reporter in one session. They started talking about RSS, and the reporter wrote a story about this technology. To illustrate Russell's breadth of reading material, the reporter called out a couple of the sites Russ subscribes to. To wit: "Russell Beattie, who writes software used on mobile phones, reads 170 Web sites, ranging from the BBC's to An Obsession with Food". Being mentioned in the same sentence as the BBC is a heady feeling, even if the reporter considers my site to be the opposite end of the spectrum. A link to this site would've been nice. For the record, the URL to use for my RSS feed is: http://www.obsessionwithfood.com/site-feed.rss (so I chose a non-standard file name. Sue me.) Thanks to all who wrote to let me know.

- Remember That Survey? Here Are The Results
Back in September, I asked you to participate in a survey to help me better understand my readers. I had 135 responses, which I estimated to be 2.7 percent of my readership at the time. (My readership is a larger number than my daily visitor count, because...

An Obsession with Food has freed me to write on any number of food-related topics and experiment with different writing styles. But the title constrains me as well: It permits little in the way of non-food thoughts. So, I've started a new blog. An...

OWF mentioned in the SF Chronicle (sort of)
