Sometimes, explaining things like RSS just isn't easy, especially to someone who doesn't understand computers and the internet. That's when you use your resources (AKA search engines) to find stuff(AKA others' work) to do the explaining for you! :)
If you haven't heard of Common Craft yet, you're seriously missing out. Their video, RSS In Plain English, became a huge success - and for a very good reason. It truly explains RSS in plain English, with cute sketches and everything. I showed this to a friend of mine some time last year, and she caught on right away. If you do check it out, watch some of their other videos as well.
I also came across this great (and bite-sized) blog post today that compared RSS to newspapers. Be sure to check it out.
If you don't fully understand the idea, or need to explain it to someone else, please check these two out, or leave me a comment, and I'll try to help you out the best I can. :)
Believe it or not, some people are offended by words others use in day-to-day language. So I'm doing what I can to step up against the use of a word I have particularly always found incredibly offending: the r-word.
Yesterday, I became the 40, 525th person to pledge against the use of this word as an insult. I urge you to head over to www.r-word.org and do the same.
You can also add a badge to your site/blog, as I've done over to the right.

I take extreme care of all of my electronic purchases. Possibly because they cost so much. So before purchasing my iPod Classic 6G (while keeping in mind that I really wanted a Touch), I did some research on what case would keep my iPod the safest from scratches and fingerprints.
I found what has to be the most perfect, best iPod Classic case out there. The Belkin Remix Acrylic Case for the iPod Classic is everything I was looking for in a case.
* Affordable
* Clear
* Covers the screen
* Covers the click wheel
It is the only case that I've come across that covers the clickwheel as well. I'm sure there are others, but that just sold me. Sure, getting it onto the iPod may be difficult. It's a two-piece case, and I was relatively tentative when prying it open, in fear of breaking it. But it's definitely durable. It's extremely snug as well, not making the iPod look bulky.
On another note, it does leave full access to the headphones jack, the port on the bottom, and the lock button on top.
The only CON that got to me was that I couldn't fit the iPod on a charging dock with the case on, though that wasn't a big deal to me. I had no difficulty hooking it up to my laptop.
I was able to pick this case up at my local Wal-Mart, and also saw it at Meijer (but cannot find it on their site).
Would I recommend this product? Definitely.
