Thing #9: More FSS Feeds!!!

I think I've fallen in love with RSS feeds. They are so convenient! During my frantic search to find 10 RSS feeds i've come upon some that were really easy to use and others just didn't have that something that called out to me... ;-)

I love Topix.net. It looks really nice and it's simple to use, plus it's local. Technorati was my second favorite. I had fun using the seach box and locating different feeds. ( I was disappointed to recieve a "Search / No results for columbus metropolitan lilbrary") Finally, Syndic8.com just seemed bland. I didn't have much luck locating feeds I would be interested in.

Thing #8: RSS Feeds

I think I conquered the most difficult "thing". It was really fun to to pick the sites I wanted to "feed" to my bloglines account. It's easy to see why RSS Feeds are such a great idea. They really do save the time and energy normaly spent surfing the net to find the new, weather or any other reports.

Thing #7: Technology

Technology!!!! Where would the world be without it? It's EVERYWHERE! It impacts every aspect of our lives. As with everything else, technology has the good and the bad that tag along, but I am choosing the focus on the GREAT thing that technology has been able to offer to me.

Imagine living thousands of miles away from your family. Unfortunately, I can rest my imagination because this is my reality. I miss my family terribly. I only saw them once in 10 years! That is a long, long, long time! The only thing I have that helps to alleviate the ache in my heart is technology. Without it, I wouldn't be able to communicate with my relatives all over the world as easily, not to mention inexpensively, as I do. Even though I am not there to celebrate birthdays and holidays with them I am invited to attend thorough a picture or a video clip.

So, thank you technologically inclined and ingenious minds, for creating computers, internet, digital cameras, cell phones, text messaging, social sites... and so many more things that keep me connect to what I love above all: MY FAMILY.

Technology can make you feel like you've got the world in the palm of your hand!
