The eJohn web log has been rather quiet lately - but that doesn't mean that I haven't been working! I'm currently, actively, working on my two projects: jQuery and ideaShrub. I've also been making blog posts to both of their respective web logs (ideashrub is quiet right now, but I'll be posting more, soon) instead of eJohn, proper. So, my question is:
This would mean that the eJohn RSS feed (and main page) would include posts from the jQuery Blog and the ideaShrub Blog - definitely increasing the posting volume. Would you, as a reader, be interested in this? Or should I keep my various projects completely separate? Thanks in advance!

A little while ago I began to realize just how much of my personal information is digitally created every day. This is both scary and enticing (to me). Scary, due to the fact that people can harness this information for evil/marketing. Enticing because I should be able to (theoretically) harness this information to provide a better user experience for the people who care (me and my friends, I assume). So, the other day I sat down and tried to figure out every accessible data medium that I generate and have access to. Now, with one stipulation: It has to be at least somewhat time-based and, therefore, intuitive to convert into an RSS feed.
Media
WWW
Personal
My masterplan: Essentially, an RSS aggregator (makes sense, nothing special) that pulls all of my personal RSS feeds into one place and provides an overall statistical view of the information that it contains. I may even provide some detailed information, save for things in the 'Personal' category. What I like about this is the fact that most of this information is completely public (or is possible to make completely public) - they're all using common/widely available programs or tools. So, stage one: Set up a personal life browser - stage two: Open it up for the world to play with. More info soon.
