RSS feeds...searching for the best

I found that the bloglines search tool isn't all that useful. I tried technorati as well and it was much the same. They just don't pull up what I'm looking for. I found that the easiest way for me to find blogs and newsfeeds that I might like to add to my bloglines account was to simply use trust ole' google, or just go to sites that I frequent and look for the RSS button. Some people might find bloglines' search tool useful, and good for them, atleast someone is using it to their advantage, but for me, I'll just stick to what I feel works best. On another note, I tried to go to feedster, but the site wouldn't load...don't know what was up with that...oh well. On to the next thing...

Bloglines

This week's list of things was fun. I enjoyed being able to search for different blogs and newsfeeds that I find interesting. The majority of the blogs I added to my feeds on bloglines were science blogs, specifically concerning evolution and marine biology, since those two subjects I find most facinating. I am one of those people that are somewhat caught-up in the current controversy surrounding the debate between evolution proponents and those who advocate intelligent design or creation as an alternative. The bloglines site makes it easy for me to get current news and information about the subject, as well as providing recent marine biology news which relates to the degree I have almost completed. All-in-all, I think this site can be very useful to anyone, its just a matter of finding those sites which relate to their interests.

Camera with GPS

I just read an article about a new Nikon camera that has a GPS built in. This allows the owner to upload their pictures and the exact locations where they were taken. I think this is a really neat way to share photos with friends and family, so they can see where you've traveled, and maybe even get inspired to go to take a trip to that place themselves! Here's a link to the article:http://www.popsci.com/gear-%2526-gadgets/article/2008-08/map-your-shots

Playing with Flickr...

I really enjoyed playing areound with the Flickr apps. My favorite was the Trading Card maker. I didn't have any pictures of myself, so I made one for Lola, nothing special, it was just to see how it works.

Enjoy!

My little Lola...

I've just uploaded three pictures of my sweet little Lola on Flickr. I rescued her from the humane society on Feb 29th of this year. After looking through all of the kennels, I came upon this little girl in the last row, and I instantly melted when I saw her in her sad puppy dog eyes. She was dressed in a long-sleeve sweater and it just made me laugh to see her trot up to the front of the kennel and beg for attention. When I finally got to have time with her one-on-one, her kisses and excitement was contagious and I knew she was the one for me. They said she is an Australian Kelpie mix, but I'm not sure I see it... she's basically a mutt, but they sya they are the best dogs, and I have to agree. She has been a joy to have and has been the best company a girl could hope for. Whenever I'm feeling down after a stressful day, all it takes is one kiss from her to bring a smile to my face.
