New to RSS?

what if you could read all your news, blogs, stocks updates etc and other relevant information on a single location instead of visiting each site for a particular info? Yes you can!, by RSS. For starters, you can sign up at My Yahoo!., you can even get a peek at your Yahoo Mail inbox. Go ahead and start choosing your contents promoted by Yahoo. Other than that you must provide the RSS URL of the site for it to integrate in My Yahoo. More RSS in My Yahoo can be found here. For just RSS click here.
For example if you're an avid fan of froz80's blog :D or you want to express you're hatred towards this author :( , the little white-in-orange "XML" button ()at the left side indicates that my blog supports RSS. It usually points to the site's RSS file. If you click the button, don't worry about the text in your browser -- all you need is the URL in the browser's web address bar (in my case its "http://feeds.feedburner.com/froz80").
To add the RSS feed to My Yahoo!, simply right click on the orange XML button to "Copy Shortcut." Go to My Yahoo!'s RSS edit page and paste ("Ctrl V") it into the "Add URL" box. or paste "http://feeds.feedburner.com/froz80".
Now you can view my beloved blog even if you forgot the blog's site url. :D

Superstar Magic

Donning the uniform of Orlando Magic., #33 guard/forward Grant Hill will start at 2005 NBA ALL-Star Game in Denver on Feb.20. Together with Vince Carter, Shaquille O'Neal, Allen Iverson and LeBron James for the Eastern Conference. It's very exciting to see Grant Hill play again. Hill is doing well since coming back from a career threatening injury. Hill was suppose to start the 2001 All-Star but sat it out because of a season ending injury. Since then has played for only 47 games in 4 years (btw there are 82 games per basketball year/season).
In college, Hill(as a Duke Blue Devil) beat Michigan Wolverines and their Fab Five freshmen players(including my fave player Chris Webber.. :(.. ) to capture the 1992 NCAA Men's Basketball Title.
Hill also inspired me to basketball card collecting. In 1994 I knew Grant Hill was going to be a superstar. And I had a chance to get my hands on his rookie card, convincing my buddy for a trade in exchange for Karl Malone (w/c is also an icon but far less value in the market). I have to give credit to TJ for a great trade. A month after he would mumble for giving up Grant Hill for it's value, you had to see the look on his face (hehe, sorry bai walang bawian :) ). At that time it's worth $15. He also had no clue to how good Grant Hill is. My first good value card.
And for those of you who didn't know Grant Hill is the proud hubbie of Tamia, yep the singer, songwriter and actress whos singles include "Officially Missing You" and "So Into You".


Grant Hill+Tamia=Lovely Couple


Grant Hill is a guy we all feel for. Not only was he likeable on the court, but he was likeable off the court as well. You still have that fear that he will get injured yet again. But so far, so good. It's nice to know that nice guys can finish first in the NBA. Hill is doing well, perhaps he will be able to go back to doing Sprite commercials.
