Daniel finds a good use for RSS
July 29, 2008
Speaking of RSS, I think I've finally found a good use case for myself. GMail allows you to go into Settings and then Web Clips. You can then remove all of the default web clip sources and replace them with RSS feeds from your friends and family's blogs, and thus be notified on the fly about new content.
I like it!

danielbigham.ca now supports rssJuly 29, 2008
After long last, I set up
rss for my website. Each blog topic represents its own 'feed' which can be subscribed to with any modern browser or RSS reader.
I don't use rss much myself because most of the website that I check on a daily basis are such that I want to see the stories surrounded by the layout of the website, and they are updated frequently enough that I don't want to be notified each time something new is posted.
I guess where I should use rss is to keep tabs on sites that only update once every few days and I want a notification to go look for the new content.
Added to list: 100 mile diet for 100 daysJuly 23, 2008
Last night Meredith and I had our small group over for a potluck meal, and as we considered what to do for our time together in the fall, someone had a great idea: Attempt the
100 mile diet for 100 days. Wow.
We decided to start on Feb. 15 2009 to give ourselves time to read the book and plan, and that would make the end date the annual Mennonite Relief Sale. We have all sorts of other ideas in terms of fund raising for the church's building fund by hosting a 100 mile dinner, etc., as well as fund raising for the relief sale.
It's all a little scary at this point, but I'm excited. It should be lots of fun and an amazing learning opportunity!
I think this might be my first "group" thing in my list of 99 things. I'm looking forward to it.
