So that's where the orange XML icon came from.. Even though I made the little icon, I've since forgotten how it came to be. Thanks to Dave Winer's Weblog/time-machine the exact conversation has been preserved. "People always ask where the white-on-orange XML icons came from. Well, here's the requirements doc, written on this day in 2000. Bryan Bell read the doc and designed the graphic." - Scripting News In retrospect, if I knew it was going to be so popular I might have put a little more sex appeal into it, but at the time I was just doing a favor for a friend who asked for an orange block with XML written on it. Sure thing I said, and 5 seconds later this () pops out. funny how things workout. [Source: BryanBell.com] 9:30:41 PM

A New Icon for iPodderX. This weekend I worked on a new icons for a pod-casting application called iPodderX. Pod-casting utilizes media capabilities of the now ubiquitous XML based RSS feed (real simple synication). Individuals can now create and distribute audio/video though their RSS feeds, and others can subscribe to it. IpodderX automatically downloads the content you subscribe to, and places it on your desktop or iPod for later consumption. Download iPodderX here, and give pod-casting a try. I'm told a version of iPodderX with my new icon will soon become available (I can't wait). [BryanBell.com] 9:19:52 PM
