Wiring in to the NYT NewsWire API

NewsAlarm - wiring in to the NYT NewsWire API | blprnt.blg: "Holding a smoke alarm, battery installed, is somewhat like holding an unwound jack-in-the-box. While you know that it shouldn’t go off, there’s still a nagging suspicion that it might. I get a similar feeling when I check news websites in the morning - somewhere in the back of my mind, I suspect that the world might have caught on fire while I was asleep. So, it made at least some degree of sense to me to build a News Alarm - a device that sounds an alarm when specific new stories are detected ‘off the wire’."
