Now back to regular blogging.

I was using Google and saw that they changed their logo into Braille.

Only a matter of time some deafies probably gonna suggest that Google designate a “Deaf” day and spell Google in fingerspelling.

Update: Heh

Pete Townshend (formerly of The Who) Says iPods WILL Make You Deaf.

Gotta be something due to the teeny weensy white ear buds.

By the way, while you’re at Consumerist website, might as well bookmark it. Gives you good info on saving money.

Update: Wall Street Journal joins in the discussion.

If you’re like me, having problems adding RSS feed to Sage, here’s one workaround:

Upgrade your Firefox to 1.5 so you’ll get a Live Bookmark on the URL bar instead of the bottom of the screen. It’s optional but just makes your life a little bit easier.

When you come across a blog you want to add whose feed is not recognized by Sage, click on the Live Bookmark icon on the URL bar and save to a folder (I created a folder called Live Feed). Then go to Bookmarks | Live Feed and highlight the blog you bookmarked and right-click to see Properties.
Copy the Feed Location and place it on the URL bar (I recommend opening a new tab) and press Enter to pull up the blog. (Don’t worry if see you a bunch of XML code).

Open up Sage to see the sidebar. Drag the blog’s URL to the Sage sidebar. Click on the new blog on the Sage sidebar to test to see if the RSS feed works.

If this instructions isn’t clear, let me know and I’ll try it again.

Why do I love Firefox? Tabbed browsers, plug-in extension, etc, yadda, yadda, you know the rest.

There’s two extensions that I highly recommend.

1) Performancing which will help speed up my time to blog to my WordPress Blog. When I come across a website that I want to write about, one click on Performancing icon splits the browser screen in half and I can copy the link, copy and paste the text, etc and just click on the Publish button and my postings are automatically added to the blog. Pretty nifty!

2) Sage, an RSS reader. Before using Sage, I was using Sharpreader. It’s great but really use up a lot of computer resources and have to install Microsoft Net 1.1. With Sage, it pops up a sidebar and whatever blogs I want to read, I can read it in entirely. Quickest way to read blogs!
