The Philosophy of The RSS Feed - A deeper look at New Media

Media used to be “what they wanted you to watch”. With RSS the user now has the power and access of someone who goes to a library or bookstore and sees the “LOUD!” exhibit, which the user can glance at and drill down deeper into if he wants to. It doesn’t stop there anymore. Its not just picking which billboard anymore. Now its deciphering which section and book you are interested in, on a continuous basis. I pick RSS feeds, and if I don’t like them they get dropped like a book that wasn’t that interesting. If I like what an RSS feed has to say I start to get more immersed, and get committed. RSS is the ultimate F YOU to the mainstream media.

Fruit only for Breakfast & Lunch + a Lunch Car Nap

with one comment

Here goes: I’m going to try eating only fruit for breakfast and lunch 6 days a week. Which opens up some time over lunch for me to nap in my car which might have a twofold benefit. I’ll get back in a week with the results.
