While at a campus function, a fellow SLISer gave some student an update on what is popular with social networking and technology. I have seen the RSS (usually an orange box with three symbols on it) on many pages but ignored it for the most part. I hadn't add one to my own blog until a couple of months ago. But after watching Common Craft's video, I decided to give it a shot.
Common Craft RSS Video
If you haven't heard of the Common Craft videos, I highly encourage you to look into them. Hey, it's faster than reading an Dummies's or Idiots Guide. They even have one called "Electing a US President in Plain English".

Getting Back Into the Swing of Things
Well now that I have finished summer classes, went back to Michigan for two weeks, and survived the disruption and damage of two hurricane (only Gustav hit Baton Rouge- but it caused LSU to stop classes for a week and left 1.5 million state wide without electricity). So to lighten things up a bit I thought I would lists some websites I have found to help relieve stress and basically waste time- in random order. Enjoy!
