RSS feeds

I found this weeks topic interesting. It was plain sailing, with the recommended websites' RSS feeds, until I created an account with Google reader and tried to copy a URL into the box. I was copying the website of a particular high school, but it was coming out as a page out of Wikipedia. This was confusing. I then created an account with Bloglines and when I tried to copy the same URL a message popped up saying to check whether the site actually has RSS feeds, and sure enough it didn't. For a beginner, this message solves a problem of a predictable mistake.

Another feature I quite enjoyed was the "Bloglines quick picks". Dictionary.com Word of the day and A Phrase a Week are alredy my favourites.

For those interested in something completely different from Web 2.0, please read on...

Nothing Big Required, You Are Enough

Most of us have the feeling that we are here to accomplish something big in our lives, and if we haven’t done something that fits the bill we may feel as if we are waiting. We may feel incomplete, or empty, as if our lives don’t yet make sense to us, because they don’t line up with our idea of major accomplishment.

There is no need to hold ourselves to an old idea in the back of our minds that we need to make headlines or single-handedly save the world in order to validate our existence.

Staying in tune with our own values and living our lives in tune with our own vision is all we need in order to fulfill our time here. Our lives are a process of becoming so that we cannot help but cocreate; being who we are, responding to each moment as it comes, we can trust that this is enough.
