Hi,
I created a Jaiku channel to post updates to. I’ll try to repost everyone’s updates they don’t post to that channel, and that channel has a feed from both websites, so it’s a good one to RSS.
It’s at http://jaiku.com/channel/philiprizk.
If you don’t have Jaiku, send an email for an invite: jameskbuck@gmail.com
