With RSS we can beam pure quantum electromagnetic dynamic flux wave energy directly into your brain, releasing millions of tiny joy particles from the upper-funk zone of your hypothalamus, thereby enabling you to run faster, jump higher, and dance better.

Well, not quite, but with our RSS newsfeed you’ll get all the important d2d community news, gossip, and fun links before lesser mortals, with their old-fashioned casual web surfing techniques.
