The Morning Brew

Ian Obermiller has crafted a rather nifty mobile version of The Morning Brew, using NodeJS, Express, FeedParser, request, Jade, and Stylus, all hosted on Windows Azure at http://mbmobile.azurewebsites.net/. Ian has made the source available on GitHub at https://github.com/ianobermiller/morningbrewmobile, so I plan to have a little read this weekend and learn a bit more about Node.
