I'm a local who lives on the westside but goes to the beach as much as possible.
Have 2 grown children, 1 here and 1 in GA. Taught middle school math and science while raising the kids then became a librarian 5 years ago. I have been to over 25 countries...and hope to travel more but am content hanging around the homestead for now.
RSS - really was really simple. Added several RSS feeds to my favorites and so now can see what is happening in town and in the nation at a glance. Except that I really don't enjoy the news much at all these days. There was a bright spot on jacksonville.com today about libraries and how the economy is helping people realize what a great deal the library is! More folks are coming in than ever before...for books, movies and computer access.
I had never bothered using RSS before but I can see what a time-saver it is for those who visit the same sites day after day.
