RSS Feeds

At first this week's exercise sort of fried my brain, but once I followed the directions and started adding my RSS Feeds the smoke started to clear. Some of my feeds were added by searching for an RSS symbol on websites that interest me. That's how I added National Geographic, Real Simple, and The Onion in addition to Orange Slices and OCLS General Announcements. Then I went crazy adding feeds from the quick picks like Daily Dose of Imagery (thanks iguanamom!), Best Week Ever, Daily Show Videos, Weather for Orlando, Word of the Day, PETA, and Rotten Tomatoes. I really wanted to get the comic strip Cathy but I guess it's no longer available.

As for searching on Grokker, I looked up aloe plants because mine is quickly dying. I definitely prefer the map view because it's more fun to navigate. By searching I was able to determine that my aloe plant is suffering from a bad case of sunburn- ouch! Quite ironic considering aloe is used to soothe a sunburn.

As stated in my last post I am a kinesthetic learner, which is proving to benefit me throughout this course (so far).

This post is dedicated to Cathy- the best comic strip ever created!

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

I loved Cathy, too. I think you can find here: http://www.gocomics.com/cathy/. I could always identify with her when she'd go shopping and there would be a pile of bathing suits and she wasn't happy with any of them. I'm a FoxTrot fan now.

Hannah is the uncheerful Fawn as I have switched out her snausages for carrots. She is now a veggie too. Not too happy.
