Wow. That worked (RadioService, that is). That's pretty cool. I could use this together with Radio Composer (not Poster anymore). But still, there is the limitation that you can't post to categories.

This is a test of the "Post to Radio" service.

Bill Bumgarner has been doing some kickass stuff for Radio on Mac OS X. "Now I can post to Radio from any application that has Services. I can take advantage of the spell/grammar checker in Word. Use Project Builder's code formatter. Edit Tables and other HTML markup via WebObjects Builder. Easily post the output of a command in the terminal."  [Scripting News]
This is very cool. I think it's using Blogger API, which means no support for categories. It looks like I might be able to post remotely with it but I'll have to see. I'm trying it right now but I'm having trouble getting the service to show up in my Services menu.

I'm having a Costco lunch right now. I'm having chicken and rice with carrots and peppers and coffee. Of those things, the chicken, carrots, and coffee come from Costco. Oh, my pants are from Costco as well. Oh, and so is my underwear. Maybe I've said too much.

My wife and I are toying with the idea of starting a new category (or even a whole new website) called AddictedToCostco. Costco is a wholesale superstore and we shop there all the time. We' ve been thinking of all the stuff we've gotten from Costco over the years and we think it might be interesting to keep a log. There's furniture, food, clothes, books, drugs, and a bunch of other stuff. We could even have pictures.

Digital Sensor Is Said to Match Quality of Film. Foveon, a Silicon Valley start-up, is set to sell a new type of digital image sensor that matches the photographic capabilities of 35-millimeter film. [The New York Times: Technology]
If this is true then there won't be a need for film cameras. Which is kinda funny as I'm toying with the idea of getting back into B&W photography, including doing my own processing. I used to do it and it was quite fun. And B&W is a cool medium. I bet there are a lot of people that feel that way, so I doubt we'll see the end of film photography any time soon.
That said, I love digital photography as well. It's just too convenient. I'm currently involved in a project to scan pictures of my cat Baba, who died recently of cancer. But scanning prints sucks. It's slow and although I'm scanning at a good resolution, there's always dirt on the glass and the picture. I wish the pictures were already digital.

I'm trying to figure out how to get Radio Poster to post to Radio. One idea I had was to use the Blogger API. I need to understand how authentication works, of course. But the real problem is that the Blogger API doesn't do categories. And I want to be able to do categories. My other idea is to use http and just post the data the same way that my browser is going to post the data for this post. I would again have to tackle the security issues, but there is clearly a way to do that. I need to study the problem to understand how a browser has the opportunity to prompt a user for username/password in order to enable access to a restricted site, but I should, theoretically, be able to do the exact same thing.

By late afternoon I'd achieved what I was after: a Radio site that was CSS-compliant. I didn't do it myself. I got a lot of help. [Jonathon Delacour]
Cool. And the site looks soooo good. I want to try my hand at designing my own site. I'm not sure I'll care, at first, whether or not I use CSS exclusively. But it might be an interesting challenge.

I can't bike to work today, unfortunately, as I may need to return home and if I do I'll need to do it quickly. That's one problem with biking, you can't be in a hurry.
