I like the mockup – would certainly be useful on FriendFeed.

It's funny you mentioned about calendar and lifestreaming. I'm currently working on making my capstone thesis demo project into the real thing but will be incorporating lifestreaming aspects as well as info vis techniques to display various data. Here's a link to the calendar demo I made: http://www.capstone.iciskaye.com/sundial/

Happy 4th everyone!

Todd, perhaps you misunderstood. I'm not discussing importing calendar data into my Lifestream. I want a calendar UI to help me navigate my existing Lifestream. Right now if I want to find an older post of mine on FriendFeed my only tool to find it is search. This is not an effective way of finding data I'm trying to find for a specific time period.

Also, I don't understand the mindset you discuss of an activity stream having no value from historic data. Why does past data become stale and require bearing on the present? I really enjoy looking back and reflecting on the past in my Lifestream.

I hinted at hcalendar data here:

But my emphasis for calendar data wasn't to look back, it was to look *forward*.

Calendar data can be a lesser part of an activity stream, but to dedicate the presentation layer in that framework is a mistake, IMHO. Activities have a very high level of immediacy ( @tantek calls it "The Now" ), data goes stale, what I did six months ago, has little bearing on what I am doing right now.

I've been longing for months for something similar, but not exactly like the way you see it. I, too, use Google Calendar. I keep multiple calendars in there as if each item is tagged (events, holidays, personal, wife, etc are all shared, individual calendars). I know how to get the RSS feed for a calendar but it updates when something is added to the calendar, not when the event happens. In other words, I want a notification system available for each event via RSS. They already have pop-up reminders and email, etc. I want RSS so I can channel particular events or calendars into my lifestream when the event happens (or hours before), not when I enter it into the calendar months in advance.

Hy Mark,

it also could be done by converting your RSS stream to iCal format,
and import that into a (non)public Google Calender.

Don't know if someone offers this as a service,
but a script for self-hoster can be found here:

Thanks for your post! Joel
