RSS feeds...wow.

So I went to a workshop on campus today called "Blogs and Wikis in Academia." It was mostly about blogs and wikis in academia (oddly enough), but the instructor also told us about RSS feeds. I had always wondered what those little icons were. I felt REALLY premodern all of a sudden... But I have now remedied that (at least partially). I also recently found out about del.icio.us - very cool social bookmarking utility. I think I can cross "information technology" off the lists of professional fields I should consider switching to! This is really cool stuff, though.

a simple beginning

Hi, folks. In the coming weeks I will be developing this blog. I'll be discussing politics, travel, art, and various (other) mundane topics. I hope you find it entertaining!

Cheers!
