Wow!  An “A-list” blogger has suddenly found out about lifestreaming.  Oh! wait.  He calls it a FriendFeed so it must be completely different.

I guess it’s about time that the “A-listers” catch up with the rest of us no matter what they want to call it.

For those of you that don’t want to get stuck in another boring social network that wants to control all of your information, you can roll your own lifestream by adding all of your streams to a Yahoo! Pipe and posting the link as an RSS feed.

So I look up one day and find I have been so busy that a month has passed by since I posted last. Here are a couple of items that will challenge you to see what the future holds.

This first item is older but if you haven’t read it then shame on you. Ray Kurzweil, likely the most prolific inventor of our time, wrote a forward to a book I hope to soon read called The Intelligent Universe by James Garner. He has published the entire forward online at KurzweilAI.net a blog like site that if you don’t have in your river of data you should. If you come away from reading that without feeling like a kid on Christmas morning then you better check for a pulse.

The next interesting read I want to share is by Nick Carr titled Google, Apple and the Future of Personal Computing. Carr theorizes that, in the end, it is going to come down to Google in the cloud and Apple for the user interface. The reason I wedge this idea after the Kurzweil article is because Google is building Kurzweil’s ideas. What’s more is that they are doing it in a way that the end user doesn’t even realize its going on. We want access to our data every where, any where and at any time. But we also want the experience to be simple and easy. I am not sure that in the end Google and Apple are the companies to accomplish this but they are certainly in a league of their own right now.
