[TheThinkTank] Let's Promote Each Other on the Web

Long story short, the BNC's directory of shops provides a XML
feed...but it seems to only work in Safari (which is just useless and
offensive). Anyway, I wrote a little script that addresses the error
and returns valid XML. The valid XML feed can be found at:

http://sopobikes.org/static/BNC.xml

In theory, every night at midnight (Eastern Time), the feed will be
updated to reflect any additions that occurred during the day. In the
next few days, I'll try to get the BNC site to pump more info into the
feed...but right now...I"m sleepy.

Do with it what ya'll will and let me know what data you would like to
have included in the feed.

Enjoy and in solidarity,

P.S.
As of right now I've only tested the fixed feed on:
Windows Vista -> IE7, FireFox 3 and Opera 9.5
Windows XP -> IE6, IE7
OS X Leopard -> Safari 3.1.1, FireFox 3, Camino 1.5.5, Opera 9.2.7
Ubuntu -> FireFox 3

So let me know if (and on what platform/in which browser) you get an
error (though you shouldn't get an error).
