monkinetic the blog

Jim had this cool idea to use weblog software to generate an iCal-compatible vCal file for a blog. Then iCal users could subscribe to it. I want to try this out.

Morbus Iff over at Disobey.com got his blog iCal-ified. Subscribe to it here.

I copied and hand-hacked one of my calendars in iCal to see how it might look with blog entries as events. Blog titles get cut down to one word (in week view, my default), and there’s no easy way to see the description unless you use the inpector. iCal is not the ideal blog-reader, by any stretch, but it does open up some interesting possibilities. Not sure what they are yet, but I’m hoping that by spreading the idea someone out there will have some cool ideas on great ways to use this.

I‘ll grant you that, Don. But at the same time, I don’t think that was the point. Larry is a Christian (I‘m assuming from reading his reply, and other things he’s written), and the questioner was asking how, as a scientist, Larry can believe in God. I thought his reply was well said, and that‘s what I was pointing out.
