Apathetic Thursday

I’m in an experimental stage with integrating all my personal feeds. I think it would be nice to have one spot where all my blog posts show up, all my Flickr photos show up, all my Tweets show up and all my YouTube videos show up. My difficulty is that I would like my blog to remain clean of the clutter and chaos that all of these different things will throw at it. I think I finally have a solution which is mostly implement right now.

This all started when I signed up for Tumblr, which I was thinking about using for this purpose, but it just didn’t feel right with what I wanted to do. So after scouring the internet today I came across “SimplePie” which, I must say, has the most beautiful website, so much so that it doesn’t feel like the software should be free. Anyway, using SimplePie to create a few WordPress Pages, and suddenly I have this:

http://apatheticthursday.net/twitter-feed/ and

http://apatheticthursday.net/flickr-feed/

Which finally pulls everything together onto one site. My next step may be to try some more integration and set this up to work with a few other services that I use online, but I have to think over the interface I want to achieve before I jump in with any code.
