More Mindblowing Site Updates

I've added a couple of nifty features to the site. Over on the right I've got it set up so that you can subscribe to TTSU. If you enter your email address you'll receive one email at the end of the day with all of that day's postings. I swear on my sister's life the email addresses will only be used for the powers of good. If I get any reports of people being spammed or anything I'll cancel the service with a quickness.

I've also implemented some live news feeds on the left and the right sidebars. On the left you'll find headlines from Yahoo's Oddly Enough as well as the latest updates to Metafilter. If you're not familiar with Metafilter, just check out the feed. There's really no point in even trying to describe it. Even the term "Pork Chocolate Bar" does not suffice (link via Metafilter, obviously).

On the right sibebar are news feeds from the BBC, headlines from the NYT, and the most recent stories over at Salon.com. For the hardcore news junkies/people bored at work, these are updated several times per day so hitting refresh on your browser will likely get you some fresh dirt.

For those who don't know, Salon is a paysite that will give you a free day pass if you click through a short advertisement. Subscriptions are cheap though and Salon does great work, so if you've got an extra 15 bucks sitting around it would be money well spent.

This is actually starting to look like a real website. My computer science professors would be so proud (here's a little GoogleLove to Dr. Valerie Barr).
