#8 (Week 4) RSS Feeds -- Who'd have thought?

I am fascinated with RSS feeds, and I had a great time checking websites I visit frequently to see which ones have progressed to having RSS feeds available. I really liked the fact that with our local newspaper, for example, I could choose which sections of the newspaper from which I want to receive updates. There is a cliche about the world getting smaller, and RSS feeds made me feel this is becoming truer and truer.

Week 3 #7

Okay, the instructions say for me to create a post about anything related to technology that interests me, so I am writing to say that I am very excited to be taking a three hour class this Saturday on the basics of podcasting. I know absolutely nothing about podcasting, so this class should be a great learning opportunity.

Week 3 Explorations continued

In exploring Flickr mashups and 3rd party sites, I am particularly fascinated with the applications I found in fd's Flickr Toys. I spent several hours engrossed in the photos that appeared when I "clicked to choose a random person" in Favorite Surfer. In addition to favorite surfer, I thought the jigsaw generator and the bead art were amazing.

I am also very intrigued with Flickr Color Pickr and Montagr.

But, I must confess that of everything I explored, I was most impressed by the fun and games of Jim Bumgardner. His URL is http://www.krazydad.com/ Within Fun & Games, you'll find Adjustable Maze -- I had a wonderful time working my way through maze after maze. I'm hooked!
