Dilbert Me!

My RSS reader (feedly) doesn't handle Dilbert well. Probably because they want me to view all the advertising surrounding the daily Dilbert cartoon. So it opens up an external browser and forwards me to Dilbert.com from the RSS reader. This is annoying. This powershell script opens up today's Dilbert and shows just the strip. I should wrap this in it's own RSS feed... eventually
