Jose Gonzalez wrote a Blogger + XML + PHP tutorial as well. He says, "Don't worry, it is not as difficult as it sounds." He's also experimenting with Flash and Blogger. exciting stuff!
ps. If you use Blogger, Anil also has a poll asking how much you'd pay per month to use a pro version.
Matt Kingston modified my Blogger + ASP + XML tutorial to show how it's done with PHP. very cool. This reminds me that I've always intended to write more about XML + Blogger. (eg: how to set up a simple search, how to write out the archive index on any page, or how to enable remote editing.)
Not related to Blogger...a lot of the picture stuff I have on this site is done with writing out XML representations of file structures on the server...then transforming those with XSL. I've been meaning to write some of that stuff up too.
Anyway, the archive XML file for this site is here. And the XML for this page is here. And I have the auto RSS version (w/ a beta Blogger Pro) here.
Speaking of Blogger Pro, Anil Dash has an amazing page outlining some of the new features. (or possible features.) Does he have the office bugged? ;)

Spirit
is Life
It flows thru
the death of me
endlessly
like a river
unafraid
of becoming
the sea
While I'm in Texas having fun with web folk, skp will be in New Zealand touring wineries. And believe it or not, it's just part of her job. Must be rough. ;)
I just finished up the arrangements for my trip to Austin for sxsw. (no music for me this year, just interactive.) I'm already looking forward to it. (Now where did that sxsw blog go?)

I love all paradoxes. The only paradox I hate is the fact that I love all paradoxes. (har har.) Anyway, I've been thinking about them because I stumbled across Berry's Paradox: "'The least integer not nameable in fewer than nineteen syllables." Really makes you stop thinking.
ZDNet: Ego Finds A New Outlet In 'Blogs': "As we get more mobile, it will be easier and easier to put spontaneous thoughts out there," Merholz says. "The increasing omnipresence of the Internet will allow for the publishing of thought pretty much as it occurs."
reminds me of blogs: "It is not entrails that we try to interpret these days, nor even hearts or facial expressions; it is, quite simply, the brain. We want to expose to view its billions of connections and watch it operating like a video game...All that fascinates us is the spectacle of the brain and its workings. What we are wanting here is to see our thoughs unfolding before us – and this itself is a superstition." - John Baudrillard from America.
crazy. (everything is still on here. but for how long?)
