Feed reader? RSS? What do you mean?
RSS fees, RSS reader, Feed Burner??
This is a useful tool if you want to start a network of readers. If they subscribe to your feed then they will visit your site often for new content. The more subscribers = more visitors = more readers = MORE TRAFFIC TO YOUR BLOG. Make sense??
How do you subscribe or sign up for a feed reader? You can register at http://google.com/reader or you can use RSS OWL. Either way, subscribe to one of them.
Nutang has an RSS address in the modules. Use that module and publish it to your left side or right side module. People can then subscribe to you. You can use your google reader to read the feeds YOU subscribe to.
Another tip.... FEEDBURNER.com will help you burn your feed and get the "spiders" to crawl your page.
Good luck and have fun!

Humanoid Robots
To relax I like to read tech news or trash about the celebrities. I know sounds pretty bad huh? Well, while reading Engadget I stumbled across this....
At the University of Tokyo they have created a humanoid robot to assist with the elderly.
"Researchers at the University of Tokyo are crafting more lifelike and more agile servant bots nevertheless. In an effort to create a tactical team of droids ready and willing to serve the aging population of Japan." (http://www.engadget.com/)
These droids will do simple tasks such as cleaning, doing the dishes and pouring tea.
I dont know but does this sound like the movie iRobot to anyone? I am afraid that one of these days, this simple invention is going to turn against us. Maybe it is just paranoia.

Gay, Straight, or Taken
Gay, Straight, or Taken
I am not feeling well. I am actually feeling kind of dizzy from the sinus infection and I am just sooooo sleepy. So I am at home in bed watching episodes of Gay, Straight, or Taken. It is SUCH a funny show. You guys have to watch it. The youtube vids do this show no justice. If you watch it I bet YOU could not tell which was which. I know I cant !!
About the Show
Mondays at 8 pm et/pt
You can't help but notice that cute guy at the gym, in the bar or around the neighborhood. You smile at each other. And all you're thinking is one question...
Is he gay, straight or taken? Well, now you can find out how your intuition measures up by watching this new kind of dating game. It's a dating game with a twist like no other.
One woman meets three men for a series of dates and then must decide who is gay, who is straight and who is taken. She has to select the one straight, single man in the trio in order to win a luxurious dream getaway for her and this available bachelor. If she makes the wrong call, the man she incorrectly chooses gets her prize instead!
Think you can figure out who's who? Play along and find out! As you observe this woman spending time with the guys one-on-one and in a group, you can test your guydar with an online scorecard. Or grab your phone and text us the name of the guy you think is straight and single.
What is your college education worth
You know I just got this email from my boss. It states:
"An extra $27,000 a year for a bachelor's degree, compared to people who did not finish high school. A doctorate is worth another $30,000 on top of that."
I really dont see that happening. At least NOT where I work!!! I just think it is ironic how my boss would send us something like that when I HAVE my bachelors degree and I am getting paid LESS than someone in her department that only has an AA. I dont even know if she has even that!
I have to believe the statistics however because it goes on to say...
According to the data, the median salary for workers with a four-year college degree in 2005 was $40,166 -- compared to just over $13,000 a year for people who did not complete high school.
Those with a high school degree only had a median income of $21,079; for a two-year associate's degree it was $30,937; for a master's degree it was $51,509; for a doctorate it was $70,165. Those with law, medical and other professional degrees topped the list at $76,497.
They believe that the earnings gap is steadily rising. I guess that is good news for me.

It is only sad because it is a true story
A TRUE STORY...
She had a rough childhood
She survived starvation, neglect and lack of affection.
These things made her resilient to rejection.
Her fears became her strengths.
As she aged, lonliness set in. However she was never fearful of it.
Living each day as if it were her last, never fearing death.
Times passes on and she is feeling abandonned once again.
Told by someone who is suppose to love her, "No knight in shinning armor is going to come and save you!"
She waited and waited until she believed the previous statement to be true.
Then like a character in a story she sees him. He is strong, brave, kind and caring.
Could he be the knight she was searching for?
He falls for her, as they do in fairy tales...
As years pass by... I finally get to tell him,
"I thought I was going to die, never finding you."

Unforgiveable
You know how when someone does something bad to you, you try to forgive them. But when they do it over and over again you just get so pissed. Well, I had a friend like that and I told her, "you are really pushing me to the limit and if you dont stop now, you may just lose me as a friend." I mean I was really understanding, patient and forgiving but she was being a persistant ASS. She pushed me so far that I try to avoid places that I know she will be and also I have not talked to her in over 4 years.
Just the other day I get phone call saying that she was in the hospital because she had a heart attack. I could not feel any remorse for her. The things she did to me were beyond unforgiveable. One of them was pulling out a gun and telling me if I turn around and walk out the door she would shoot me or herself. What a psycho, nut job!
I was brave enough at the time to turn around and walk out. I did not want any part of this psycho trip. She use to do drugs so I dont know if there was any brain damage done. What am I saying?? That behavior was NOT normal.
