You might be interested to know that there's two different kind of posts on this blog: "Thought of the Day" and "Normal". The "Thought of the Day" category is a once-a-day random tidbit, usually a funny video or picture, and the "Normal" is just what you'd expect from a blog like this:
Unicorn-Butterfly Soup.

I’ve “frozen” the development of service integration for my new project, OneSwirl, as of just now.
Version 0.5 will be lifestream aggregating all of the following:
Flickr (Favorites and Uploaded)
Google Photos (Uploaded)
Last.fm
YouTube Favorites
Netflix (Recently Watched)
Twitter
Jaiku
Pownce
CollegeHumor (Likes)
Amazon (Recently Purchased)
There’s some cool features, especially on the UI end, that I can’t put into words… you’ll have to wait and see for yourself. Plus, there’s a whole slew of of integrations planned over every new release, and it will continue to be like that… until we lifestream aggregate the whole internet!

Last night I started work on an interesting project of mine, on the subject of “Lifestreaming”. Basically, one location that pulls together everything you may do or be involved in on the Internet, through RSS feeds and some “neat tricks”, creating a unified RSS feed for whoever may be interested.
So, for example, rather than someone following my blog, Twitter, and what I “digg” on Digg… they could just subscribe to this all-in-one feed to keep track of my activities. Or visit the main page of wherever this will be, and see things like “Kyle dugg [whatever]” or “Kyle’s Twittering [something]“.
Once I get this working, to a certain point, I’m going to publish it for people to view, even as I continue to develop it. Before that happens, I need to create a database caching method of the RSS feeds, which will probably happen tonight.
But, and this is the big kicker, I’m going to be releasing the “Services Library” as open source code, probably under GNU and through a joint venture of myself and my company. This library is what pulls in the different RSS feeds, and pulls out the specific details of the feed for each service. For example, Twitter’s “description” and “title” tags are both the same, the actual Twitters themselves… but Digg’s “title” is what I want, and not the “description”.
This little project may turn into something bigger, but we’ll see how it goes.
