Chaos Footbag Now Provides RSS and ATOM Feeds

Keeping up with Chaos Footbag just got easier.  Our site now provides 2 links, each for a syndication feed in a different format: RSS 2.0 and ATOM.  You may also get the links at the bottom of most pages on this site.

What is a syndication feed you may wonder?  Well, in short this means you now have the ability to be automatically notified, by email for example, whenver the Chaos Footbag Log is updated.  Hopefully, this makes life just a little tiny bit richer for you since you no longer need check in with Chaos, as Chaos will check in with you.

You can set this up by supplying one of the links provided, RSS 2.0 or ATOM, to a ‘feed reader’ or ‘aggregator’ service.  There are many feed readers available at little or no cost.  I use a web based reader called FeedBlitz so no download or install is necessary and the basic service is free.  I get emailed every morning with a list, including links of course, of the latest posts on the blogs and websites I follow.

Again, links to the feeds provided by chaos footbag:
RSS 2.0 or…
ATOM

Links for feed reader services:

http://blogspace.com/rss/readers

Of course, google ‘feed reader’ or ‘aggregator’ for more.

Lastly, for more information about feeds, RSS(Really Simple Syndication), and ATOM, check out this link or this one, or do a google search.

Just Married!

Congratulations are in order!  John and Carine are Chaos #4!  At approximately 17:15, -0300 UTC standard time, last night they married during a sunset ceremony in Fortaleza, Ceara, Brazil.  The ceremony itself was beautiful - presided over by John’s grandfather and translated English to Portuguese by Carine’s sister Joana, complete with a firework finally.  The reception was over the top dancing and drinking all night.  They do it right in Brazil!

War Of The Windchill

Just got word from Yves himself - Montreal Windchill March 31st and April 1st.  Chaos is looking forward to it.

Schrickel and Partner :) Take the German Championships

Johnny Throw Down

Johnny Leys was in town this weekend so we decided to have a little throw down.  PT hammered out a deal with our local Bushrod Recreation Center obtaining it for Saturday afternoon.  We put out a local announcement and 11 folks showed.  Not hella half bad considering it’s early December.  Hardly footbag season, eh?

@#$*!...  what footbag season… it’s always footbag season!

Anyway, we drew up a round robin bracket, had a blast, and enjoyed a bevy or two afterwords over plans for the coming, err, footbag season?

It was generally a warm and fuzzy afternoon - of CRUSHNG! 

It’s cool that so many made it, props to Sage and Jeremy for coming all the way from Santa Cruz, and congrats to Pat and Alexis for crushing everyone out!

Results - wins/losses:
1. Pat/Alexis - 5/0
2. John/Eric - 4/1
3. PT/Jack - 3/2
4. Chris/Tuan
5. Jeremey/Sage
6. Edwin/Dynamic

Next up - a Takraw Saturday in January, followed by the Wedding Invitational in Brasil in February, and now rumors are flying… perhaps a Montreal War of the Windchill!   

Chaos Footbag and Bushrod - Together Again

Starting October 24th Chaos and the City of Oakland are, once again, offering footbag as a community program over the winter months!  Only difference is, this year we have an extra half hr, so TUESDAYS AND THURSDAYS from 6:00-9:00pm!

If you aren’t yet familiar, know that we fit THREE courts in a one basketball court gym and, although they are set relatively close togehter, the scene is ideal considering we get to play footbag ‘regular like’ throughout the winter months.  Like last year, we will have two courts reserved for footbag net and one reserved for takraw.  Hopefully we’ll see more takraw players this season.

Many thanks are due The City of Oakland!  The fee is just $25.50 per person per month AND you can sign up and pay online securely.  Just follow the link below and create an account.  Your account will be live within 24 hours and then you can handle everything online securely.  You can find the Takraw/Footbag activity by searching under ‘location’ - ‘Bushrod Rec Ctr’ or simply enter our activity no. in the search box on the right and hit the ‘Go’ button.
