Today I decided that my life would not be complete if I didn’t learn how to use Yahoo! Pipes. So I gave it a shot. I couldn’t really think of anything I wanted in a pipe, so I decided to try building one that would let me search eBay for items on my Amazon wishlist. Shouldn’t be too hard, right?
I learned that it is possible to pull your Amazon Wishlist items as an RSS feed, which is cool. I found an example on the Amazon Web Services Developer Connection. You need to have an Amazon Web Services Access Key (AWSAccessKeyId), but they’ll give those away to anyone nowadays. You don’t need to read the full article; I’ll summarize.

Megnut mentioned one of those ‘net services a few days ago. The mylackey.com and askjeeves.com sites are nifty, to be sure, but I just found a place that is even more useful. While I was in San Diego this weekend Chris showed me Food.Com and I was astounded. What a wonderful web site! You enter your address and the site tells you which restaurants will deliver food to you. You can see the entire menu and pay by credit card. It’s like amazon.com for dinner! It is totally rocking cool. I’m very excited about it.
[Oh, and if everyone else in the world already knows about this place, shame on you for not telling me about it sooner!]
