This is pipedown: a little script for people, like me, who think it'd be cool to read blogs on their ipod/media-player (admittedly few). It grabs a feed off the web, parses the xml to create a directory for the feed and text files for the posts, and then converts the HTML dump into markdown to make it (somewhat) readable.

P.S. the name is a triple play pun. 1) the phrase "pipe down" meaning "be quiet" refers to bloggers and blogs. 2) Pipe refers to the basic protocol of the internet tubes. 3) Down refers to it's use of John Gruber's excelent markdown.
