Explor the Ar Es Es

Well, I did kinda answer these questions in the last post. But, I will say that I have NO PROBLEM finding RSS feeds. The landscape is littered with them. The potential for RSS overload is enormous.

So, I'm about to start organizing things into folders in my Google Reader. Mmm...GoogleCake. And as I said before, I am likely to keep a-calling on my favorite innernet nooks in person, so to speak, but RSS seems like a bang up way to get a companion cube's weight in professional news and information from those less personal-like sites. At least until the crazy-busy or crazy-lazy sets in and I decide that everything on the innernets must now come to me 'cause I am to bizzy-important-lazy to go to it. Which, you know, is not totally out of the question.


BONUS ROUND: Who, amongst the maybe one or two people who might be casually wandering by 'cause I am really sure that nobody reads this anymore, got the cake-and-companion-cube reference?

AR ES ES

Soooo...how does a pirate keep up with newsfeeds? ARRRRRRRRRSS.


Ha-HA!!


A-heh.


I don't think anyone is reading this anymore.



I haven't been really keen to try RSS. I guess I'm not really all that savvy, or maybe I'm just a Reluctant Adapter. I suppose that's it. I like visiting everyone's little corner of cyberspace. It's fun. But, you know, I'm willing to give RSS a try--especially as there's more for me to read, and it's more pro stuff. It is a little harder to remember to hit pro sites all the time, and it is more convenient to have that information--if only because there is so much more of it--all in one place, baked together and fresh. Like a cake. A professional librarian cake. A profresh libcake.

Mmmm...RSS feeds...

I think once I have my...DATAPAD [my iGo or whatever]...RSS feeds will be just as normal a part of my routine as checking my email and deleting the spam. While I might cling to visiting the actual blog sites of the blogs of enjoy--because I think of it as a little visit, and I find it humanizing, I guess, in the big digital scheme of things--I do see RSS as uber helpful when it comes to all that professional information, and as INFORMATION PROFESSIONALS, dang if we don't generate kind of a lot of it. That really makes RSS pretty sweet. Sweet RSS cake. And unlike some cake, that cake is not a lie.

I'm going to go hug my companion cube now.

Here's my technology related post:

KINDLE KINDLE KINDLE KINDLE KIII*DROOOOOOOL*


I...kinda want one.

But, more to the point I guess, things like the Kindle--and I think in the nearish future we'll have Kindle-looking personal computer type things that access wireless networks and display books and so on and so forth and generally operate just like what they call in the Star Wars books "datapads" and said things--heck we might call them "datapads" but that sounds nerdy so probably it will be something more like...I don't know, but Apple's version will be called the "iGo" (SHOUTOUT)--will keep us pretty hyperconnected to all the things we can now consider "print" (that which we read). (Okay, sentence over. Take a breath.) If we are lucky, our phones will not have been directly implanted into our brains by then.

If we are that lucky, and we are not taking calls a la Ghost in the Shell, then I think we will see a push toward having "disconnect" time. At least, I hope we will. There should (IhopeIhopeIhope) be a rising school of thought that attaches real value to quiet time, time devoted to face to face interaction and division between work time and home time (as more people telecommute).

Or, you know, we're all just going to get those brain implants.
