A growing trend with blogs, if you haven’t already noticed, is content feeds in RSS or Atom formats (2 of the biggest). What does this mean? Well, one example that most people probably can relate to is with the “My Yahoo” personalized page that Yahoo offers. Previously, users were locked into specific content that Yahoo offered when selecting what to display on their personalized pages.
With the development of content feeds and standard formatting, it is now possible to add any site’s content to your “My Yahoo” page as long as it is in one of these formats. In Yahoo’s case it must be in an RSS format, not Atom.
A brief intro to RSS can be found here.

Anyway, I’ve started offering these blogs in both formats in case anyone uses a news reader or wants to add this to their Yahoo page. Plus its fun for me to learn about.

Posted by Pete on March 31st, 2005The Butterfly Effect
Posted by Pete on March 31st, 2005
A funny thing happened to me on my walk to lunch today. I found myself surrounded by hundreds of butterflies in what appeared to be a mass exodus east. Have you ever been walking outside and had a bug fly right towards you and just move out of the way at the last second? Multiple that by a couple hundred and you’ll know what I mean when I say it was very odd and a bit concerning.
Anyway I looked it up and apparently this migration only happens once or twice every decade so I guess the world isn’t ending and since they are butterflies and not locusts, I think I can sleep tonight. It is a weird site though. At first glance it appears to be a bunch of leaves blowing across the street and fields.
If the butterfly effect is true, there should be a cyclone off the coast of Australia in about 30 days.
Here’s a link to an aticle on the butterfly migration.

Weekend
Posted by Pete on March 27th, 2005
Went to Palm Springs this Friday and Saturday. Lots of fun, I had never been before and basically spent Saturday laying by the pool and relaxing. Really rough times…
Below are some pics I took while driving back (probably not the smartest thing).
Sunday after church for Easter I went surfing, which I hadn’t done in a while but it still went really well.

Vegas took my money this weekend!
Posted by Pete on March 21st, 2005
I actually won if you only look at gambling money. That’s a first for me so I was pretty excited about that but the net total was a loss if you factor in food, drinks, and everything else. Still a good time though. I included a pic from my camera phone of the strip. New York-New York is part of the skyline. Below that is Toby. At the point the picture was taken, he had just won a couple hundred at Roulette.

Luck of the Irish
Posted by Pete on March 10th, 2005
I’ll be in Vegas over St. Patty’s Day weekend and I’m hoping that the 1/10 Irish in me helps out at the Blackjack tables. I’m also hoping to try the Craps tables a little bit as it always seems fun but the last couple of times I’ve done it, I haven’t been familiar enough with the game. Perhaps this weekend I’ll brush up on some strategies online.

Pictures of Australia
Posted by Pete on March 6th, 2005
Finally got some of my pictures up from my trip to Australia. I’m still waiting on some from other people as well as the underwater pictures from the Great Barrier Reef (being developed as we speak) but there’s a lot there already to check out. Even a few videos.

Vegemite Sucks
Posted by Pete on March 1st, 2005
Australia rocked. Sydney seems to somehow combine the laid-back lifestyle of San Diego with the hussle of big city Chicago living. Something I always envisioned as being the perfect city. I really enjoyed the time I was there and hope to have pictures posted soon. I’m waiting for some from other people to post the best ones but if this weekend is slow I may get mine up. The Great Barrier Reef was the highlight of my trip as I had to Scuba dive while I was there. I really can’t think of anything else I would have liked to do that I wasn’t able to.
I tried Vegemite for the first time today. I brought some back to share at work. Let’s just say its an acquired taste.
Here’s one pic to keep you happy until the rest can be posted. Its a pic on top of the bridge climb of the Sydney Harbor Bridge.
