Writing in the OPML Editor 

I'm starting to use Dave Winer's OPML Editor in order to understand how it works. It seems simple enough and I do like writing in an outliner. One issue I see is a lack of a solid URL structure per post.

My Xbox Xperience 

I bought a used Xbox about three months ago, just before the mad rush for the Xbox 360 hit. It was discounted deep and the previous owner took great care of it. It came with the default disc--a football/tennis combo--and one controller. Extras included the HiDef connection kit, DVD kit and Halo 2.

It was Halo 2 that intrigued me. I've played plenty of first-person shooters including the original Marathon series on the Mac. Bungie's first creation, Marathon was a great game. It combined hot hot FPS action with puzzles. One example put you in a maze, led you to a room with pillars in the center surrounded by lava. You had to figure out that you needed to shoot (I think) a switch on the wall to get a bridge to appear, leading you to the pillars and the exit.

I've been playing Halo 2 for most of the time I've had the Xbox, but it was just before Christmas that I got a two month trial of Xbox Live (gamertag: houseofwarwick). Look for me online when you can.
