Shave and a Haircut

Mood: tired
Listening to: fan in the window, washer and dryer in the kitchen
Reading: The Magic of Thinking Big
Eating: Hmmm... an evening snack perhaps?
Watching: something on TV


Jennie, Keisha, and I went to get our hair done this evening. I'd shaved earlier in the day, so this picture really makes me look a lot younger:

Shave and a Haircut

The smile sure helps, too.

Ways to Consume Content

Four years ago when I started blogging, I had no clue about RSS feeds and syndication. I'd just go through my blogroll and manually check to see if someone posted something new.

Now there are so many ways to aggregate the "stuff" you want to consume on the internet, saving time from having to visit each website to see if new content is available. I used Amphetadesk for awhile, and I've been using Bloglines for the longest time. Over the past 16 months, I've used Juice as my primary podcast receiver.

While going through the visitor logs for Get That Job!, I saw a referral from FeedRaider, so I decided to check out that service. I like you can show items from several feeds on one page and set up multiple pages as a way to categorize your content.

To that end, let me tell you about two feeds I've set up for Get That Job!:

The second item, via Feed2Podcast, uses text-to-speech to create an mp3 of the posts you read here. So, whether you want to read or listen to the content, it's up to you. And, of course, you can always go to the website directly to see all the Get That Job! goodness.

Speaking of the goodness, I'm always looking for job-searching success stories to share over there, so if you have something you'd like to share, please contact me at danimal0416+gtj [at] gmail [dot] com

Update: I just realized that some of you might be interested in what I'm consuming, so here's the link to my FeedRaider web presence.

As you were.

Laura Clapp on the Podsafe Music Network

While browsing music for the podcast, I saw this nice little feature. Check out Laura Clapp, from Nashville, Tennesse, via the Podsafe Music Network:

Thanksgiving 2006, with more RPG!

Mood: chilled
Listening to: Chillcast Cocktail Party Mix
Reading: The Magic of Thinking Big
Eating: ham, eggs, and biscuits, with low acid orange juice and black Folger's coffee
Watching: (last night) Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy


(It's interesting to note, as I was filling out the status info above, the potential for links and affiliate links. I should definitely look into that stuff.)

Jennie had to work Wednesday night and last night, so yesterday Keisha and I went to a Thanksgiving dinner at church. We brought some honey bbq wings and some hot chicken tenders. After eating a few of us guys went upstairs to the auditorium and played Halo 2 using an Xbox 360 hooked up to the projector screen. I can understand why role-playing games (RPG) are so popular now. I was the newbie of the group, but I still had fun learning my way around the game.

PayPal Enabled

I was contacted earlier this month by someone who'd read Get That Job!. She asked if I had a PayPal account because her company was interested in what appears to be a sponsorship of that blog to some extent. She asked if I had a PayPal account.

I signed up for one, and I noticed that they have a way for people to add a donation button to their website, so I added one to this site, on the sidebar to the right. It's exactly like this one, which, by the way, is fully functional as well:
