The First In A Series local seller of wares

If you haven't jumped on the RSS bandwagon, you really need to investigate it. RSS is basically a way to subscribe to websites or your favorite blog. Instead of navigating the web using your traditional bookmarks, you read everything now through your RSS reader. There are regular clients that you install on your machine, but the most popular are the web based feed readers. I can't recommend Google Reader enough. This one tool has changed the way I interact with the 'Net. In a distant second place is bloglines. The key to the web feed reader, is the fact that you can use it on any machine with a internet connection. Work, home, kiosk, all your settings and "currently read" items will propagate accordingly.

So, you take your favorite websites, blogs, etc and add them to your reader. Anytime content is added to any of the sites you subscribe to, the "Items unread" amount will increase accordingly. Now you have all the places that you hit on the internet in one single location. I can't express how cool RSS is. It's something that you just have to try for your self. So, go check it out, you'll wonder how you got along with out it.

Now, Special Extra Bonus Content!

A really neat (and under-used, in my opinion) feature, is Google Readers "share" option. Each "article" in Google Reader has a row of options at the bottom. One of thes options is "Share". When you select this option, it will send that article to a prepared "Shared Items" page. A really slick looking webpage of your shared items. Cool! Below is my shared content, check it out, bet you will find at least SOMETHING you like.

"..for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself." Jessamyn West I have raised a retard. I swear to God, the things he says and thought processes that flow through his brain never cease to amaze me. Early on in this Blog, I promoted the idea of trying to give your kids more than you had. Don't force them to work during their early high school years and instead let them enjoy their summers unencumbered. As that dickhead Dr. Phil says, " how'd that work out for ya?" I have ended up with an unappreciative individual that is not even remotely ready for the real world. What a slap in the face that will be, standing on his own two feet. I know, I know, I reap what I sow, but that what blog is for isn't it, anonymous venting?? His outrageously expensive school, has a relatively relaxed cel phone policy. You can have you phone, and actually use it in between classes. Just don't use it during class. Kinna obvious don't you think? He come...

Gettin' The Hell Outta Dodge Middle school graduation was tonight. @ was really pumped. Not at graduating 8th grade, but finally leaving SPX. Grades 1-6 at the Catholic school were fine. The last 2 years, though were a royal pain in the ass. The teachers have been there too long are underpaid and had lost interest in guiding these kids. I think I was as happy as he was after the ceremony. I won't miss dealing with those people at all. Right before we left, I told him it was time for us to give him his present. We had gotten him a cel phone but I want to string him along a bit. On Tuesday when we switched plans both * and myself got new phones also. That night, we were showing off the features of the new phones to him. He played along, acting like he was happy for us, all the while wanting his own I'm sure. I purchase a belt clip for my phone and his. I put the clip in a bag and wrapped it for him. When he opened it, there was a look of "what the hell...

The Cowboys Need a Miracle (Local team broadcaster)

 I present to you, the greatest moments in D/FW history during my lifetime. I plan to flesh out the descriptions as time permits, so if it's skimpy now, check back later it might be even better than the first time you read it.... ★ 1975 NFL Divisional Championship Game ★ Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings  Metropolitan Stadium, Minneapolis Minnesota   December 28th, 1975  Here's the grim, hopeless setup. Dallas Cowboys at the frozen ass Minnesota Metropolitan Stadium (hey I have a great Idea, let's put an outdoor stadium that will be used in the heart of the Minnesota weather in Minneapolis). They have unbelievably just converted a 4th and 26. (This brings up one of the most insane NFL incidents of all time, and it is NEVER talked about. I of course speak of the 'Rib Kicking' Minnesota Security Guard/Policeman. In completing the above-mentioned 4th and 26, Drew Pearson used some Toe Drag Swag to make an unbelievable catch with both feet in bounds, falling...
