BrainStream: My Own Personal Library

[bkdelong]

So my mind is lingering in MeNow land. All of this waiting has gotten me anxious and bored so I've decided to pick up a book for a bit. Which reminded me to go to AllConsuming and mark that I was currently reading it. Then that made me think - so how would I get this in my MeNow document? I'd have to handcode the MeNow:isReading entry and get all the metadata for the book. Pleh. TimeConsuming, if you ask me.

At some point I'll be making a personal database of my book collection. It's huge and I often forget just how much I have - if I did, I'd spend less time on the machine and more reading. But think of it - I go to my "MeNow Dashboard" which has a pulldown yanking data from some MySQL DB of books under the isReading item and all I have to do is select "The Woman of Wyrrd by Lynn V. Andrews" and the ISBN added to my MeNow:isReading. Of course, futuristically-thinking....I'd have some sort of device either on me or on the book to say when I was reading it - if I were really lazy. I could totally see me eventually wearing an EyeTap instead of glasses someday.
