ex machina

i've been contemplating whipping together a jabber interface to blogger for awhile. of course, the job was made much easier with the release of the blogger api . and now, amidst the blooming of clients, we see the beginnings of what instant messaging and blogging could look like. heck, there could even be a grant available:

"Say, anyone doing anything with Blogger? I just checked out flogger.jabber.org. Most cool! I know we've been looking at LiveJournal integration too. The Blogger guys sent me email last week about their interest. They just released an API at http://plant.blogger.com/api/ and have setup a development interest group at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bloggerDev. Their back-end is a SQL Server though. Let me know if you're interested. Possible Jabber Grant opportunity!"

jogger is neat, but it really only scratches the surface. the new blogger "recently updated" rss feed scraches a little more since it'd be easy together a "presence sensitive" updated blog notifier. but this is still just "hello world" type stuff. looks like i've got to get to work on putting some of my ideas together since the bar is getting raised. quickly.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
