Visual Nomads

ever since google mail came out i have been a big fan of all the google apps. one that i am really getting into is the google calendar, a very powerful online calendar system. its the first of its kind which is fully rss syndicated. you can add almost any feed to it.

for example, i use billq (a site where you enter your bills and when they are due). billq then creates an rss feed of my bills with when they are due. i can take that feed and put it into google calendar, now every time i update billq, the new bills will automitcaly be displayed on my calendar.

i found another one today which is pretty cool. this site will create an rss feed of your local weather, automaticly put it on your calendar.

One year ago, the 26-year-old
blogger from Montreal set out to barter one red paper clip for
something and that thing for something else, over and over again until
he had a house.

On
Wednesday the quest is ending as envisioned: MacDonald is due to become
the proud owner of a three-bedroom, 1,100-square-foot home provided by
the town of Kipling, Saskatchewan. MacDonald and his girlfriend,
Dominique Dupuis, expect to move there in early September.
