so as best I can tell, blog this! is the tool to use to create a blog here including a post from another blog or website, but unfortunately, it does not work in beta blogger, and I just today switched to beta. just my luck. well, at least I figured it out. it took forever, it seemed. i was doing this instead of reading for Don's class. actually, i was doing both, but not getting as much reading done as i would have preferred. but this is exactly the kind of thing i need to do, so it's just as well.
the article on mylifebits was amazing. written in 2002, so i wonder whether there's anything like this actually on the market today. let's see...
Yes, there's an update on it, 2006. It's even more impressive today, but I wonder if it suffers from objective creep. It's objective will get more lofty as its researchers discover more and more that can be done, so the goal will always be "just a few years away." I also note that the research on MyLifeBits is sponsored by Microsoft, so I wonder if that means that it won't be open source, will be proprietary, and like other MS products such as Outlook, if one uses it, one can never get one's data out of it to switch to another application. I just hate that.
