What Is RSS and Atom? RSS 101: Understanding The Feed Monsters 2007-05-23 23:44:35 RSS is an acronym for Really Simple Syndication. One of it’s earlier standards also referred to it as Rich Site Summary; either description is now used interchangeably. Syndication can be defined as sharing information or the distribution and extension of data. So, in a nut shell, RSS is a standard that allows us to easily and quickly share frequently updated data to, literally, millions of people over the Internet.
There is another variant of this type of syndication known as the Atom Syndication Format -Atom for short, and is another very similar type of syndication standard. For the purposes of this article, I will be referring to RSS feeds specifically, but the Atom Style Feed works very similarly and virtually everything that can be done with an RSS feed can also be done with an Atom Feed.

Thanks for reading and posting about my article. I guess when Dr. Creasap first asked me to respond to a question a few months back, that it really did get me thinking about "Why I Teach." As I have continued my personal education, I've become a better teacher. I remember sitting in all the undergraduate methods courses and saying to myself, I’m ready to take the next step, get me in front of the class. I truly feel that energy and excitement comes from having great teachers, which were excited about what they were doing. I was fortunate to have those great teachers from elementary through college, without them, I’m not sure I would be where I am today.
I still remember the talk with my father when I said I didn’t want to go to
How Long Is A Gigastack Of Compact Discs? 2007-07-12 01:54:56 This article is from MusTech.net ~Copyright 2007 MusTech.net and J. Pisano
Understanding just how much a kilo-something, mega-this, giga-what or terra-anything is can be quite confusing. In my classes, I’ve found, when talking about megabytes and gigabytes, using an illustration can be quite helpful. Most new computers today have in excess of 1 gigabyte of memory installed and today’s newest hard drives are terabytes in size (raid devices -in the petabytes!).
In order to better understand the immensity of these numbers, I’ve made a comparison sheet using distance and the thickness of a standard CD as an example. I hope you find it entertaining, if not mind-boggling!
FYI- the prefixes, in order from smallest to largest, are: deca, hecto, kilo, mega, giga, terra, peta, exa, zeta, yotta…yotta, yotta!

The thickness of a CD is approximately 1.2 mm or .048 inches.
