Small Dog in the Marvel Universe

ByMike Moffit

Small Dog has recently started carrying comic books on CD-ROM and DVD. So far, only Marvel titles are available. This software has been very popular. The origins of the major characters, such as Spider Man, Captain America, the Silver Surfer and Iron Man are really entertaining. I decided to see if I could describe Small Dog Employees as if they inhabited the Marvel universe:

Volunteering for a scientific experiment, the once frail Rob Amon was miraculously transformed into a physically superior specimen: an “American Super Soldier.” Having bravely fought the Nazis he suffered a freak accident. Upon recovery he stormed our present time fighting the evils of lousy pizza.

Severely wounded by shrapnel while testing new combat armor, billionaire industrialist and inventor Jamie Service survives inside a high-tech shell as Iron Man. He uses his enhanced strength and flying powers to battle spies, threats to international security, and the Yankees.

Fueled by stress and anger, the amazing transformation of Hapy Mayer into the Hulk leaves him a bulging mass of green fury. This CFO has become the most powerful, destruction-bent creature in Duxbury.

Genetically gifted, Mark Jones possess superior accounting talents and skills. Some mutants believe IRS audits are inevitable, others feel they should serve and protect auditors and humans alike.

Offering to protect his peaceful wintery planet from the energy-devouring Galactus, young Tony Amenta becomes the invader’s herald, seeking out snowmobile trails on which he can ride. Cruising the universe courtesy of the vast cosmic powers in the Skidoo granted by his mentor, young Amenta uses his amazing strength and light-speed on exile in the summer.

  • RSS Feeds

    I started using a RSS reader recently when I was faced with far too many blogs to check per day for a fitness project I’ve been a part of. Checking close to 20 blogs every day meant opening the domain, remembering if I read that article, then going on to the next one. It ended up resulting in too many bookmark folders in my browser’s bookmark bar. Then opening all of them at once resulted in a lot of memory being used by my web browser.

    I then remembered a little icon I’ve see before. There should be one at the top of this page. This means that an RSS feed is available for the blog or article website you’re reading.

    What’s an RSS feed? RSS (usually) stands for “Really Simple Syndication.” This means you can have your article without all the ads and spam that cover some web pages. All you need to do is find the URL, or address, for the feed you’re looking for. For Google BlogSpot blogs, this means using a special link in conjunction with the blog name. For other websites, they may need to provide it for you.

    For example, take the New York Times. I would have to check this website every day, along with all the other news sites I read. What if I’m more interested in just receiving the new articles? Or even a specific category of articles? If you’d rather check the articles in this manner, you could check and see if they offer an RSS feed (most sites do now). I just searched Google for “nytimes rss” and immediately was given one of their own pages, listing their RSS feed addresses.

    What program should you use for a RSS reader? I’ve tried a couple on the Mac, and I’ve settled on Shrook for the moment. It’s very simple to use, and has an iTunes-like interface. It’s a light program too, that doesn’t take up too much space or memory. If you leave it running, it will automatically check for updates every 30 minutes and alert you with a badge on the dock icon when there are new articles or blogs.

    But wait! There’s more! If you prefer to keep all your updates in one place, Apple Mail can also check RSS feeds for you! Just click the little + in the lower left of the Mail window and select “Add RSS Feeds…”.

    The iPad now has some pretty nifty ones, with nice touch interfaces, like Reeder.

    Just about all devices have access to RSS feeds now, and with just spending a few minutes of your time adding the RSS links you read on a regular basis, you can save yourself a lot more time in the long run.
