Google Reader!

So, this week I gave Google Reader a try. I had no idea what RSS feeds actually were, or how they worked, so it was with a leap of faith that I gave it a try.

I can also credit my course textbook for giving me some information on what I was about to attempt, of course.

I actually enjoyed that all the updates from sites and blogs that I follow were in one place. It saved me the hassle of having to search down every single site. That also saved me time, which is always nice.

However, some sites and blogs did not feature RSS feeds, so I still had to go chase those down. Less convenient. Also? RSS feeds do not feature comments from the blog posts - and those are half the reason to read the blogs (humour blogs). So that was a disappointment, because I ended up still having to go to the website to read those.

So.

The weather has just been horrible the past month, with the exception of a few (emphasis on few) days. I realize that it's almost fall, but honestly - this is ridiculous weather for this time of year. I demand that the sunshine comes back, and stays for at least a weeks worth of time.

Also? I got sweatshirt shoes! I kid you not. These are ballet flats that are made from sweatshirt material. Awesome.

Beginnings~

Hello one, hello all. I'm Sarah, this is obviously my new blog.

I've created this new one to fulfill some coursework for my Survey of Web-based Tools course.

Thus far, my semester has been pretty easy going - nothing has sprung up to cause me any great grief. Of course, now by putting that into text I've totally jinxed myself.

Oh well, I'll strive on - as always.

Ren Fest in a little over two weeks! Let the countdown begin~
