New Chevy Volt


This has to be the coolest new hybrid car.  It can drive 40 miles using no gas AND has a 4 cylinder engine to take over once its out of power.  That’s more than enough for commuters like me.  I also like the instrumentation, very cool.

And a hybrid that can produce 150 hp, 273 lb-ft of tourque with 0-60 expected to be 9seconds…not to shabby for an electric motor

One of the best football catches you’ll ever see

Edwin Baptiste from Morgan State University makes an absolutely insane catch in a football game against Winston-Salem State. I have NEVER seen anything like this.

RSS Feeds For Visual Learners

I found a great video called RSS in Plain English on YouTube and figured I would share. This should make the RSS Feeds info from my last post make more sense.

I suggest Newsgator.com as a reader (mostly because it keeps the new stories synced to my iPhone and on my home and work computers) if you’re interested. Your internet browser and email program also have a way to act as a reader by default if you don’t have a separate reader.

New Picture Gallery Format and New Blog

apple-iphone

As technology changes, so does my site. With my new acquisition of an iPhone, I’ve been able to make a few changes to the site that will keep it more up to date and make it easier on me to update.
First, You’ll notice here that the blog has changed a bit. I have changed it so it is now linked with Blogger.com so that i don’t have to be at my laptop to change any of the content (which was why I never really added anything). This allows me to do a number of new and nifty things too. Now instead of just posting major life updates or site changes, I will be posting my mobile photos, short tid-bits about things going on in my life as well as cool articles or new gadgets I think are worthy to share with you. If you were using the old RSS feed address to keep up with this, you’re going to have to update it to the one that it is linked to now. I was forced to change it, unfortunately.
Now there is also a way to sort my posts by type (meaning life events, site updates, pictures, etc…) and only see those type of posts. You can also subscribe to just the type of updates you’d like to see by first sorting this blog page by type then subscribing to THAT RSS feed in your browser. (I know it can get complicated, just email me and I can walk you through it if you have trouble).
I hope to be keeping this more updated for you now.

PhotoGallery.html

Second, You’ll notice that the Picture page has changed a little too. Now I have a way to easily upload my pictures straight from my me.com account linked with my computer, I designed a better looking picture page. I will be keeping my Mobile Uploads page for simple picture uploads on the road and now if you look below that, you will see I set up a Gallery. There are a few different collections in that gallery that I will update and add too as I keep shooting more pictures. There is a way in that gallery to use yet another RSS feed to subscribe to all my photo updates in that gallery as well. (Don’t forget that I have a RSS Feed for just my mobile picture updates too. You can find that here.) You also have the ability to download any of the photos you want at full quality (thanks to Apple’s great new coding).

(Is your head spinning yet with all the RSS feed talk? I know, I know. I just don’t want you to have to come to my site every time you want to see what’s new. Using an RSS feed allows you to have either your email program, your browser or a separate news aggregator tell you when there’s an update so you don’t have to check back all the time. You can find all the info you will ever need on RSS Feeds here.)

So I hope everyone enjoys the new site updates and leave me some comments below this post (where it says comments) and let me know what you think.
