If you haven't seen it yet, Feedster is an interesting website that attempts to be the Google of RSS feeds. You can search, use it as an aggregator, and even create a RSS feed of searches. Nifty note: it's based out of Newton, MA - my hometown.

So, I got a new futon today. My old one was a bit limp and hurt my back. Tina and I picked a thick, fluffy one and got a nice wooden frame for it (never get a metal one: they're almost always bad). Tina and I spent the remaining bit of the day rearranging my room so there's more space available. She picked a wonderful layout and things feel much more spacious. And now, I depart to enjoy the new bed :-)

I just got word that the Social Computing Club I've been helping start at RIT has been approved and is now officially recognized by the student government. This means we can now apply for student government funding, have a table at club days (there's one upcoming Nov 12th), and other such nifty things. Yay!

We meet regularly in Java Wally's. (Check our page for more details.) We are presently a discussion group, covering the latest topics in social computing, social software, communication, blogs, social networking, etc., but will eventually be working on laying the foundations for social software development at RIT. Hopefully we will be working with some companies on projects in our field in the near future.

If you're interested in learning about how the future of social interactions could be shaped by technology, have neat ideas of your own, or just want to promote your blog software - come by for one of our meetings. If you're not at RIT but want to learn more about social computing, check out our page.

UPDATE: The club has a new homepage over at the Lab for Social Computing's site. Check it out!
