RSS Feeds

I have recently added an RSS feed to my blog. If you don't have a clue what "RSS" stands for, don't be ashamed. It's very new. Even I don't know what it means. I do know what it does though. If you have a Windows PC then you can download Net News Wire Lite for free just do a Yahoo search for Net News Wire, which will takes you to the website. If you have a Mac(like me) you can also download Net News Wire Light, or if your Mac was purchased after April 2005, or has Mac OS X Tiger installed you can go into the Safari browser, and type in my website's URL. On Safari it will say RSS and you can then get an RSS Feed of my blog. RSS feeds are a very fast growing trend because they can update things as soon as they come out, so you can read the headlines of any newspaper, or many blogs (like mine) even when you are offline. Newspapers put their articles out on the RSS feeds the minute that they are edited. For example, I read tomorrows headlines of New York Times articles at 3:09 this afternoon. As with the newspapers, this website gets the posts converted to RSS headlines as soon as I click the publish button on the bottom of this webpage.

Description of Picture

That last post was a picture of the Christ Church Grosse Pointe choir that was taken a few years ago when I was in it. I thought that I would add that as a picture blog.

DYC Update

Literally 15 minutes aago I was kicked out of the gym here at the DYC. I found this rude, insulting, and downright stupid! That is why I decided to write this post. I wish this would not have happened, right when my favorite show is on. There is no other way to see this show. It only comes on 1 time every week. If you are the person who kicked me out and you're reading this stop reading it. You don't deserve to read my website. The story is now online, and I know that I will get messages from fans that agree with me(hint hint!) Ignore the message if you are not that person. I'm sorry that you had to read this pitiful message. Bill Hangens, shame on you.

Quarters

I am in the Binnacle (the arcade room) the dyc, and there are a bunch of little kids talking about quarters. One kid convinced another kids to trade 2 quraters (50 cents) for his 1 quarter(25 cents). That kid is smart. He gained 50 cents from that deal!

Swimming 2005

Hey All,
I thought that I would tell the readers about our swimming program here at the DYC!!! I know that you all want to know right??? Well, I'll tell you anyway! The DYC has a great swimming program that currently ranks 2nd place in the upper division of the southern Michigan area. The DYC Islanders are an excellent swim team. My sister is on it, and I would be on it too... if I could swim well. I am not the strongest lap swimmer. I really swim as recreation but we're getting off-topic. Anywho, the DYC team is a good team. Being on the team teaches you teamwork and appreciation for other peoples' hard work as well as your own. I am very proud that we have such a strong team! Keep it up everybody!!! :-)
