Radio, iPhoto and tools

I have an idea for a Radio tool.  It uses Radio's XML parsing ability to read iPhoto's XML AlbumData and help a user upload photos to their weblog (or anywhere).  Anyone want to jump in on this?  I'll be posting info here and on the Radio category.

Keep it simple--people can't keep up.

In reading old outliner posts (like this), I came across a mention of a George Miller study on a person's ability to manage information.  Fascinating.

It all started for me today with this.

I'm linking to Brent's post at his company website because it was reading this (and the referenced link) that got me started on the last post:

Legacy Outliners. Ted Goranson (About This Particular Macintosh): [base "]What[base ']s amazing is how feature-rich these products are. They can do things that are not common and in some cases not available today.[per thou] [ranchero.com]

Hidden Dave Gems

I'm feeling very nostalgic today, so I'm taking a trip down web "Memory Lane", with the help of the scripting.com archives.

Two great Dave Winer stories:

http://davewiner.userland.com/outlinersProgramming

http://davewiner.userland.com/historyOfFrontier

They really give you a sense of what he's always believed in: outliners help ordinary people express information in a way they couldn't before. Dave, thanks for writing these two gems.

Found this later:

Then I wondered, is BloggerCon a manifestation of Dave's dream?
