Lazy Sunday

OPML: I've heard about it before, but until today never understood its usefulness. Though the acronym stands for Outline Processor Markup Language, you might call them reading lists. For instance, this article has Best Food, Best Wine and Best Food Porn reading lists in OPML. Compared to the open source reading list from the same site, OPML rocks.

The music collection: our loss was tragic. I like that Saan has started using AudioScrobbler. You can mash up Upcoming, a community-maintained events calendar and Audioscrobbler, for a particular user.

James Governor's MonkChips is one of my favorite blogs. IT analyst stuff: it's led me to most of the interesting links I've found today.

Declarative Living: "Declarative Living is about publishing preferences to the web cloud, in the form of metadata that can be aggregated to create models of interest.

Services like flickr, audioscrobbler, and allconsuming are good examples of the trend towards web users making their preferences and interests public." He goes on to note that Declarative Living is similar to declarative programming: the programmer states a bunch of facts and relations, then teases truths and proofs from the computer. Tell me, O Oracle, what music would I like to hear today?
