You know how you have accounts at hundreds of different web sites, and there’s a handful you use all the time? Don’t you hate how they exist as little silos, separated from each other? People who don’t use Flickr don’t know when I’ve posted cool new pictures. If you don’t use Twitter, how would you know what I had for lunch today?

The trendy new thing among the digerati is “lifestreams“. I’ve wanted to do something like this myself, and it’s neat to see the idea getting some traction. A lifestream aggregates your activity on different sites into one “stream”, which other people can view & see what’s going on in your life. Leo Laporte has been plugging a service called FriendFeed, which doesn’t just show what’s going on in your life, but your friends’ as well, all on one page.

My lifestream uses the wp-lifestream plugin for WordPress from iBegin. Most of the logos came from Web2Logo.

I don’t use Delicious much anymore, so I thought I’d just link to it here. Maybe someone else will find it useful too:

I watched MacHEADS last night on Amazon Video on Demand.  The quality of their streams has really gone up for us since we upped our DSL connection to 6Mb/s.

I don’t feel like I walked away from this documentary with any profound new insight about life, but it was a fun little love-fest for the Apple community.  With every new interview, the movie repeats the theme that Apple is just a company, but the community is what makes Apple the success it is today.  I especially love how they tracked down members of the Berkely Macintosh Users Group to discuss the early days of Mac camaraderie, a rare tip of the hat to the early adopters of the 1980s.  There was also a segment on Bruce Damer and his DigiBarn, a classic computer fan’s Mecca in northern California.

Calling this film a “documentary” is probably a stretch.  It’s really a love note to the community, and well worth the $2.99 rental if you’re a Mac fan, or even if you’re just curious why people seem so devoted to a particular brand of machine.
