A stream of thoughtsciousness
My name is Donovan Watts. I am the Founder of Getting Sites Built, a web design agency.. we plan, design and build websites. Donovan's thoughtStream is my weblog. For kicks, I hoop.

Start here
added a few more tabs to my thoughtStream site. everything changes. 
gotta make the list of podcasts on my new podcasts page be a rendered opml outline. no excuses. i'm ashamed to say it's currently just an html based bulleted list.
neat design, amy.
going to try the Eternal shapeshifter theme.
les: "Here's something I just stumbled upon: I've seen some people wondering just what gets updated after getting the latest code for the OPML Editor." thanks, les. i've been asking this question for months.
my new opml coffee mug 
thanks to icon buffet, i just got a new pack of icons called Marseilles Cafe. java beans, coffee cups, baristas, tables, muffins. it's enough to make you gag. and replace your instant outliner opml coffee mug with a high quality png file.
go on, click on my coffee mug to subscribe to my instant outline in your opml editor. i'm heating up some tea on the campfire for you tea-nuts as well.
me and cosmicdread are hanging out at the thoughtStream campfire. i'm spinning music and thoughtCasting it out to the world, and cosmicdread. trippy.
it's happening... i am becoming the media.
i want to step things up a bit. now that i'm able to thoughtCast from my laptop over a wifi network to at least a couple of people at one time, i want to look into a shoutcast server setup so i'm not dishing this stuff up right from my laptop. i want to be able to do both ultimately. it's all part of the thoughtStreaming process under construction. can anyone set me in the right direction?
cosmicdread: "I'm getting much better reception from Donovan's thoughtCast now. I knew this guy could come up with a solution." HA! I LOVE THE PICTURE. CHECK IT OUT!
i agree with you, marty. as i said in my podcast i know that the code is inside just waiting for someone to wire it up. but who will wire it up? maybe not dave and i don't know how. so, until someone steps up and wires in opml to hmtl rendering or local glossaries, we are stuck. how to best get this wiring job done is my next question.
the new Give2Asia Impact Score Card is now live.
exactamundo. the new blogging style is rapid fire. i like to call it thoughtStreaming.
tune in to Donovan's thoughtCast
Your feedback wanted: is this thing on? can you hear the music and/or my voice? i just added an A record at my host so this URL should be working:
http://thoughtcast.donovanwatts.com:8000/listen.m3u
oh yeahhhh.. this tune by craig jacks started playing on itunes and i just couldn't resist sharing it with you all. open my thoughtCast in your mp3 player and listen along with me. i'll leave my thoughtCast open for a while so you can hear what i hear. this ain't your fancy podcasting hoopla. it's good old fashioned, real-time broadcasting. if you don't catch it now, you'll never hear it.
i'll be hanging out at the thoughtStream campfire as well so if you want to chat, let's meetup. i'm taking requests.
i'd like to say, "Welcome, thoughtCast listener #1!"
dean is a thoughtStream listener. he finds it the perfect distraction. yes! me too!
the creative commons effect
this is neat. an example of the creative commons license in effect. for the law and disorder site, we wanted to have a more interesting header image. so, my client went poking around on flickr and found this photo. canton took this photo and sprinkled some magic pixel dust and converted it into the new header image. To complete the circuit, I placed the attribution in the site footer. everyone is happy.
i really like this idea of amy's. audio interviews of how people are using the opml editor. i'd love to record some skype chats like this for a thoughtStream.
it's a beautiful, SUNNY day here in washington.
Thomas Burg: "after 4 years with Radio I decided to move to WP. During that time I collected some helpful links to scripts, tools, help-files, etc. If you are interested please take the file from here http://randgaenge.net/gems/radiolinks.opml"
the new header is in place for the Law and Disorder Radio site.
Dave Winer: "That's what we're doing, perfecting a tool for easier, quicker, blogging on a smaller scale." I'll call it thoughtStreaming.
