Well... he probably won't learn much from the FeedTools code, but it is
convenient for this sort of thing:

irb(main):001:0> $KCODE = 'u'
=> "u"
irb(main):002:0> require 'feed_tools'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> feed = FeedTools::Feed.open('http://intertwingly.net/')
=> #<FeedTools::Feed:0x135d8fe URL:http://www.intertwingly.net/blog/index.atom>
irb(main):004:0> feed.title
=> "Sam Ruby"
irb(main):005:0> feed.subtitle
=> "It's just data"

Cheers,
Bob Aman
