This is a relaunch of Ollicle Flex, a style for NetNewsWire which makes use of cookies. No doubt you are scratching your head, 'I thought styles were written with CSS', you may think, 'What have cookies got to do with how my feeds look?'.

It's inspired me to continue thinking about my dream del.icio.us client.
