materialistic living | a pink floyd song about soul problems

Pink Floyd, "What Do You Want From Me?"

As you look around this room tonight
Settle in your seat and dim the lights
Do you want my blood, do you want my tears
What do you want
What do you want from me
Should I sing until I cant sing any more
Play these strings until my fingers are raw
Youre so hard to please
What do you want from me

Do you think that I know something you dont know
What do you want from me
If I dont promise you the answers would you go
What do you want from me
Should I stand out in the rain
Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you
Im not the one you need
What do you want from me

You can have anything you want
You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water
Anything you want

You can own everything you see
Sell your soul for complete control
Is that really what you need

You can lose yourself this night
See inside there is nothing to hide
Turn and face the light

What do you want from me

rss this sh*t | have the information come to you - several easy ways how

So, lots of important stuff is happening here right?

But do you really want to GO TO this site day in and day out hoping something new is up? If you're like me, you'd rather have the information come to you AS it is released.

Enter: RSS or Real Simple Syndication. RSS is one symbol to click on. ATOM is another. They all pretty much work with the programs I use.

If you have a Google account, RSS has at least two really good options. My absolute favorite is 'Web Clips' in Gmail. On a line above the email I'm reading appears the titles to recent entries in blogs I try to follow.

So, when I want to avoid answering that email - which I usually do - my wandering ADD eye has the opportunity to check out what's coming up on blogs I like. You can even fast forward with the arrow buttons to do a quicker run through.

How does all this magic happen, you ask? Here's how I make it happen with my PC:

1. I go to the blog I want to subscribe to.
2. I search for the RSS or ATOM or SUBSCRIBE button, hyperlink or whatever.
3. I click on it, or right click on it to get its properties, then Ctrl + C the subscription address in properties.
4. Then I click on the Settings tab in Gmail. Then I click the Web Clips tab under Settings.
5. Under the header "Search by topic or URL," I paste the URL I have copied from the Properties.
